Getting around in Austria

Austrians are well known for their love of cars, and therefore Austria boasts an excellent road and street network. However, like other big cities of the world parking and space is scarce and expensive.

Public transport is simply excellent. Austria's rail network is comfortable, reliable and fast. It is highly recommended that if you can take the train, don't bother using public busses. All the major cities feature impressive public transport systems. Tube, tram and busses assure reliable transportation. During the night, there often exists a network of night busses, a cheap alternative to taking a taxi.

Many of Austria's cities encourage cyclists with designated bicycle lanes. Also, there are many beautifully tended cycling routes throughout the country.
