🚉 About Wien Hauptbahnhof

Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna Hbf / Wien Hbf) is Vienna's main long-distance through station, replacing the old Südbahnhof as the hub for ÖBB Railjet, Nightjet, EuroCity, and many international services toward Munich, Budapest, Prague, Italy, and beyond.

The station sits above a shopping mall and U-Bahn. Long-distance platforms are clearly signed upstairs — allow a few minutes if you arrive by U1 with luggage, especially before Nightjet boarding.
