The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
Good connectionLittle changeDirect changeover possibleDisadvantages
Very long rideThe cleanliness of the seatsHardly any free placesIt'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
Enough space to store luggageDisadvantages
NoneI 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
Direct connection1st class ticket is cheapPlenty of room to sitDisadvantages
DelayExpensive foodDisabled space not bookable. Wheelchair space only1st 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

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.

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. One unique feature is its striking roof made up of colorful tiles arranged in intricate patterns that can be seen from various vantage points across the city.
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. A standout feature includes its impressive collection housed within both palaces—the Upper Belvedere showcases iconic works like "The Kiss," making this site truly unforgettable for any visitor seeking insight into Austrian culture.
