Getting There

Vienna Schwechat is Austria's main airport, but you can also fly to Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt or Graz. Austrian Airlines (AUA), is a holding company that includes Lauda Air and Tyrolean Airlines as well, flies to numerous international destinations.

The Austrian rail network is comfortable, modern and reliable. International bus connections are cheaper but also slower and less comfortable.

The network of streets and highways is excellent and well maintained. You can cross the border 24 hours a day at major crossing points.
