Train from Berlin to Vienna?

Look at the bahn.de website to find the answers. There’s and English language version, and you can enter the dates you want and it will give you all the options, the ICE and other trains.

It would be faster and less expensive to fly to Vienna.

Just to add... The reply of 'faster and less expensive to fly', got me wondering, so I checked using a sample day of July 9:
Train - 8 to 9 hours, but total price city to city as low as 40 Euro per person.
Fly - there are nice non-stop flights on Austrian Air. But city to city - counting trans to airport, getting to airport 2 hours early, and trans from airport to town, probably a total of at least 5 hours? Total price 170 Euro per person plus trans costs to and from airports.
Whatever you decide, have a great trip!

There is also an overnight train from Berlin to Vienna that runs daily, that would be my recommendation.

Thank you, everyone. I do enjoy train scenery, and I thought I read that there is a train with no need to change trains that runs at 10am from Berlin to Vienna. Then I checked a few sites and couldn’t find it again. Anyone know about that? I’m wondering if it has been cancelled for any reason?

There are a number of high-speed trains taking from 7:44 and longer to travel from Berlin to Vienna. Advance purchase tix start at $71 on www.TheTrainline.com and
www.Bahn.de

Konko, I am unclear of the advantage you see of using the 3rd party seller Trainline over OBB?

OP, Check the price on OBB and DB. You might find different prices for the same train. Buy the cheapest.

Example
11 July
ICE 703/93
09:34–17:47 (didn't see a 10am train)
8h 13min
1 transf.
DB from €99.99
OBB from €77.20
Trainline €77.20.

And there are less expensive trains. The cheapest i saw on this date was €59.60 on OBB ... better than the lowest on Trainline apparently.

Or Austrian Air $155, 1:15 travel time.

On the DB website looks like the Berlin to Vienna direct train leaving at 1004, ICE 93, runs daily until June 27 then doesn’t pop up any more. Perhaps it will be reinstated but as of now it didn’t appear in any random July dates that I checked.

rob in cal, here is another oddity. The OBB site shows a train at 09:00 Berlin to Vienna that doesnt show up on the DB site (for 11 July the day i checked). At €96.20 I wouldnt be on it anyway. Its one of the faster connections at 7:43 and the connection time is good (despite the words of the local train gurus, I dont do 6 minute connections on holiday).

Another suggestion. I see people promoting or looking for "High Speed Trains" as a solution. Instead, shop for a convenient departure time, shortest travel time and comfortable trasfer times when multiple trains are involved. Often that is the "high speed ICE train or the RailJet but sometimes not. Depends on the route and depends on how many stops and depends on the country. For instance Vienna to Budapest an EC train can do it in the same time as a RailJet. Partly because of stops, partly because the Hungarian tracks dont accommodate high speed trains.

If you look under the train details for ICE 93 on DB you will see that it doesn't run from Berlin between 27 June and 11 July. Instead it starts from Nuremberg (Nurnberg) on those dates. Thus you take ICE703 from Berlin to Nurnberg with a 42 minute connection time.

One piece of advise: Do not worry to much about train schedules far in advance. If you book now a ticket Berlin - Vienna for August the chances are that between now and your travel date the schedule might change. And as often happens when schedules change the changes do not propagate across all the systems at the same time. For authoritative information on trains in Germany always consult the schedules on www.bahn.de

Train tickets are in principle for a route, not a train. You get a discount if you commit to a train though. But if that train is removed from the schedule, or the schedule is changed your ticket falls back to the default: Which means that you can use it on any train on the route within the period of validity.

So do not fret to much about exact schedules. Do not be put of by transfers. Just decide for yourself if you are OK spending most of a day on trains (I am) and book early to lock in the cheap price.
