How much is the price for a train ticket from Munich to Vienna and is it safe?

Question

I'm planning to go to Munich next year and take a train to Vienna. i know it takes about 4 hrs but i dont know how much it cost.

Answer 1

Nice to see that a top contributor lost her sense of country, *lol*; the link is perfectly correct, but it's not .au for Australia, but .at for Austria.

edit: Never mind, Lisa. I've visited so many websites where people mistook Austria for Australia, I can't even count them, and I`m Bavarian, so that's quite near to Austr(al)ia, isn't it? And who the heck invented them ccTLDs that get people confused? ;)

Answer 2

Yes it is safe, but about the price I can't tell you. Look at the web www.bahn.de.

Answer 3

The normal rate that is always availbale is 72 €. If you book in advance you can get a ticket with limited availability for 29 €. Both prices are one way.

Answer 4

Yes, it is absolutely safe!  The trains are fast, clean, and comfortable.  There are many different price classes.  Go to http://www.oebb.au (there is an English version), which is the Austrian train system, and you can search for options and even buy an e-ticket.  If that site is not working for you, you can try the German train system at http://www.bahn.de  (Both Munich and Vienna have several train stations, so searching for trains on the net can be a bit rough.  Just remember that Munich is west of Vienna, so you probably need the east terminal from Munich and the west terminal in Vienna.)

Edit:  Thanks, Alwin (especially on behalf of the asker)!  My face is red, but my arthritic hands get the blame for the typo.  I've been to so many Austrian web sites, I know better.
