Advantages
IconGood connection
IconLittle change
IconDirect changeover possible
Disadvantages
IconVery long ride
IconThe cleanliness of the seats
IconHardly any free places
It's relatively easy to travel by train from Hamburg to Vienna. In the ICE you have plenty of legroom, sockets to charge your mobile phone or laptop, wifi and a board bistro. The journey is pleasant through beautiful landscapes, coffee is served directly at the seat on request and the conductors are very friendly. The journey was longer than indicated, due to construction work there were extreme delays. Fortunately, the next train was also delayed. The seats could have been cleaner.
Advantages
IconEnough space to store luggage
Disadvantages
IconNone
I took the ICE to Vienna. The equipment was top notch, and there was wifi the whole way, which everyone could use. The seats were also very comfortable. The train was also very clean. The train arrived on time and also arrived quite quickly. It's great value for money because it's so fast. There was also enough space to store luggage, but I wouldn't take any large suitcases.
Advantages
IconDirect connection
Icon1st class ticket is cheap
IconPlenty of room to sit
Disadvantages
IconDelay
IconExpensive food
IconDisabled space not bookable. Wheelchair space only
1st class: Wifi was stable the whole journey. Power socket was available and functional. The seat was very comfortable as you have plenty of room for your legs. For a longer journey, in my opinion, more comfortable equipment for the head is missing if you want to sleep. Despite the mobile phone zone, it was quiet. There is a waiter service in first class, but this only started in the last third of the journey. In general, however, the staff were very friendly. The toilet was not particularly clean for first class. But I think it is difficult to guarantee this as the toilet is in the 2nd class area and therefore many more people could use the toilet. Unfortunately, we had a considerable delay of almost 2 hours. What surprised me was the fact that the first class ticket was cheaper than the second class ticket. The disadvantage was that I could no longer book a seat in first class. And no disabled seat either. This was only possible directly on the train (there are always 2 seats reserved for this purpose). But all in all, travelling by train is very relaxed. And we got money back for the delay. And relatively quickly. TOP

Exploring Vienna's Architectural and Cultural Treasures

Schönbrunn Palace, once the summer residence of the Habsburg emperors, boasts a rich history that dates back to the 17th century when it was transformed from a hunting lodge into an opulent baroque palace. Its significance lies not only in its architectural grandeur but also as a symbol of Austria's imperial past and cultural heritage; today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unique features include its stunning gardens adorned with fountains and sculptures, along with the Gloriette offering breathtaking views over Vienna.

St. Stephen's Cathedral stands proudly at the heart of Vienna’s historic center and has been an enduring symbol of both faith and resilience since its construction began in 1137. This magnificent Gothic structure holds great significance for locals as it represents their city’s spiritual life while serving as a witness to numerous historical events throughout centuries—including wars and celebrations alike.

Belvedere Palace consists of two Baroque palaces set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, originally built for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the early 18th century—an embodiment of his wealth and power after defeating French forces during wars against Louis XIV. The Belvedere is significant not just for its artistic collections featuring masterpieces by Klimt but also because it serves as one example among many showcasing Austria's vibrant art scene through time.
