The cleanliness was unfortunately not so good, the journey time was okay, the punctuality was not. Delays of ten to two hours are always possible.
In terms of price-performance ratio, it is very expensive.

No weaknessIt was a very pleasant and fast ride. In terms of facilities, there was free wifi for every guest and extra sockets where you could charge your mobile phone. The seats were very comfortable. You have enough space and to store your luggage. The service was very friendly. You could reserve your seat online but also on the spot, I reserved my ticket online. The train was there on time as agreed. The train arrived quickly relaxed at the destination. From the price-performance ratio. Can definitely recommend it as it is very relaxed?
Advantages
Price-performanceDisadvantages
Overcrowded trainIn summer we travelled by train from Nuremberg to Vienna. Because we booked the ticket a month before the trip, the price-performance ratio was perfect and a trip by car would probably have been much more expensive and stressful. We didn't have a seat reservation and the train was relatively full when we got on in Nuremberg. As a result, our group of four had to sit separately. But that wasn't really a problem for us. However, if you want to sit together with your fellow travellers, then a booking with seat reservation would certainly make sense. The staff was very friendly and the train and toilets were clean and in perfect condition. Of course, due to the many passengers on the train, there was also a relatively loud background noise, so that although the train left at 6:00 a.m., we couldn't really get any rest. However, the train was on time and the journey was still very pleasant, which is why I would take the train to Vienna again at any time.

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, intricate fountains, and the world’s oldest zoo located on its grounds—making it an enchanting destination for visitors seeking both beauty and history.
St. Stephen's Cathedral stands proudly at the heart of Vienna with roots tracing back to Romanesque times in the 12th century; this iconic structure has witnessed centuries of religious ceremonies and historical events. The cathedral holds immense significance as one of Austria’s most important Gothic monuments and serves as a spiritual center for locals while attracting millions of tourists each year. What sets St. Stephen's apart are its striking multi-colored tile roof, soaring spires reaching over 136 meters high, and breathtaking interior adorned with exquisite artworks that leave every visitor in awe.
Belvedere Palace is not just another beautiful landmark; it's actually two palaces—the Upper Belvedere and Lower Belvedere—set amidst lush gardens designed by renowned architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt during the early 18th century for Prince Eugene of Savoy. This magnificent site signifies power through art patronage while housing an impressive collection including Gustav Klimt’s famous "The Kiss," making it essential for any art lover visiting Vienna. Visitors will be captivated by unique features such as ornate frescoed ceilings within grand halls alongside meticulously landscaped Baroque gardens offering picturesque views perfect for leisurely strolls or memorable photographs.
