Getting Around
Public transport is excellent for reaching even remote regions, but it takes longer.
Car
Small towns and even small cities often have limited or no car-hire services, so reserve ahead from major cities.
Train and bus
Austria's national railway system is integrated with the Postbus bus services. Plan your route using the
Österreiche Bundesbahn (Austrian Federal Railway; ÖBB;
www.oebb.at
) or Postbus (
www.postbus.at
) websites.
