Choose the train first
Search Praha hlavní nádraží to Wien Hbf. Several operators use this corridor, but a restricted ticket does not give you a choice of every train. Compare the same date, seat class and cancellation terms before paying.
Make arrival day easy
Have lunch before boarding or carry something for the journey. From Wien Hbf, use the U-Bahn or tram route that reaches your address. The international ticket does not automatically include a city sightseeing pass or airport travel.
Save the palace for tomorrow
A centre walk and dinner fit an arrival afternoon better than a timed palace visit. With two Vienna nights, choose one major museum or palace for the full day and leave the rest for streets and parks.
