Where to Ride: The 9 Best Austria Train Journeys

1.Vienna City Airport Train – CAT

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 220 reviews · 16 minutes (approx.) · from $17Our pick

Vienna’s CAT train reaches Wien Mitte in 16 minutes, with Wi-Fi, power, easy airport signs, and useful city check-in.

“Reservé el tren para seis y cuando ya estaba pagado me aparece que tiene una hora de uso concreto. Llamo y me dicen que contrate el servicio de taxi y me devuelven el dinero del tren. Pues ha sido un engaño y no me han devuelto nada. Y la.experiencia del taxi fue nefasta. Una hora media esperando a que viniera, tres llamadas de teléfono nuestras y nos dice el conductor que estaba en su casa y le han llamado para que fuera. Un desastre absoluto. Sin sillas de bebé cuando lo dijimos expresamente.”
