ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Nuremberg to Vienna

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.

Pros

Quick

Flexible

Simply

Cons

Expensive

Waiting times

Delay

Facilities were okay, wifi did not work. There is only one power socket per four-person seat. The comfort is adequate, but also not much space, the service is okay, Bistro, however, there is no service in the normal second class. 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.

Pros

Very comfortable.

Cons

No weakness

It 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?

Pros

Price-performance

Cons

Overcrowded train

In 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.
