Vienna and Trieste are now connected by the new daily Railljet Öbb service, linking the two cities via Graz, Klagenfurt and Villach in just over six hours.
A geographic, economic and cultural link
Thanks to the new train service, the journey is no longer just a journey, but an experience. A project that stems from the desire to transform a railway line into a true cultural and tourist corridor, enhancing territories, communities and shared identities. The project is part of a wide-ranging vision that combines sustainable mobility, enhancement of the cultural heritage and development of the territories crossed. The train thus becomes a tool for connecting not only geographically, but also economically and culturally, capable of generating new opportunities and strengthening historical ties.
Combining rail with road, sea and other waterways
The new rail link is also a demonstration of how trains are experiencing a renaissance in Europe, and for good reason: there is no greener way to travel. Öbb is currently one of the few European companies investing in new services, allowing the transfer of people from one means of transport to another, combining rail with road, sea and other waterways. Thanks to the Koralm tunnel, time is shortened: departure from Trieste is at 14:22 (weekdays), 14:37 (weekends) with arrival in Vienna at 21:07, every day.
You can take bicycles on board
On board the carriages offer 42 seats in First Class, 6 seats in Business Class and 394 seats in Economy Class. Passengers have free Wi-Fi, a digital portal with films and music, a dining car with Austrian menus, quiet zones and family areas. For those who like to travel in an active and sustainable way there is space for bicycles. Öbb is also attentive to people with reduced mobility, ensuring that they can travel safely and comfortably.
“Experiencing Europe in a sustainable and comfortable way”
"With this new service Trieste and Vienna have never been so close. It is an invitation to discover, to meet, and to experience Europe in a sustainable and comfortable way," says an Öbb note.
