Title: Warsaw to Vienna
Post by: Rose99 on October 03, 2010, 11:51:15 pm

Hi, I'm looking for the cheapest way possible to get from Warsaw to Vienna at the beginning of December.

I've already checked flights, but at that time of year they are too expensive. I've heard that the best way is by train - any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Standard fare for connection Warsawa-Vienna is around 72 euro (seat), but there is a limited number of discounted tickets - sold in advance and start from 39 euro. In order to buy such discounted ticket you'll need to visit international ticket counter in Warsawa/Vienna or request ticket from Austrian Railways by mail (Polish Railways doesn't offer such service). Discounted tickets for couchette/sleeper carriages available as well.
If you aren't lucky to get discounted ticket, but don't want to pay 70+ euro for the ticket, then you might take advantage of certain "tricks", Couple train changes and/or purchases of separate tickets for different legs of the journey can cut your expenses on the trip quite noticeably.
