Taking a day train from Vienna to Paris?

Question

I would like to travel from Vienna to Paris by a day train. I could not find any info about direct train. What will be the good option for day-train travel from Vienna to Paris, Please?

Answer 1

First of all, there is no direct train connecting Vienna and Paris. Some faster connections require four to five changes of trains, to include short change-over times. I would prefer the option with only one train change at Frankfurt/Main and a sufficient layover time to back-up delays.

depart Vienna West 08:40 or 10:40

arrive Frankfurt/Main 15:36 or 17:38

depart Frankfurt/Main 16:58 or 19:01

arrive at Paris Est 20:51 or 22:53

As this is a typical flight destination, 1230 kilometers or 764 miles, you might consider the option of using a flight. Booked online a month in advance, AirBerlin for example offers flights from Vienna Airport to start at 18:55 to arrive at Paris (CDG)20:45. The cheapest offer amounts to 64,00 € to include all taxes, fares, and cerosin supplement for a one-way flight end September.
