If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling through Europe at a relaxed pace, watching snow-capped mountains and storybook villages pass by your window, then an Austria scenic rail tour might be your perfect vacation. With Small Group Tours, you’ll experience Austria’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and iconic cities—all from the comfort of a train, with a friendly group and expert guide leading the way.

🇦🇹 Why Travel Austria by Train?

Austria boasts one of the most picturesque and efficient rail networks in Europe. Traveling by train allows you to soak in the breathtaking views of the Austrian Alps, glide through green valleys, and arrive in the heart of charming cities like Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck.

Forget the stress of driving or rushing between airports—this is slow travel at its best.

Highlights of the Austria by Scenic Rail Tour

  • Vienna: Explore Austria’s grand capital, rich in imperial history, classical music, and world-class art.

  • Salzburg: Walk in Mozart’s footsteps and marvel at the baroque architecture and mountain views.

  • Innsbruck: Nestled in the Alps, this town blends modern life with medieval charm.

  • Hallstatt: Discover Austria’s most photographed village, perched above a shimmering lake.

Each stop is carefully curated to offer cultural immersion, free time for discovery, and a chance to connect with fellow travelers.

Small Group Travel Makes All the Difference

With a maximum of 14–16 travelers, you’ll enjoy a more personal, relaxed, and flexible experience. You’ll skip long lines, dine at local restaurants, and stay in hand-picked accommodations. Plus, your experienced tour leader takes care of all the logistics—so you can focus on the beauty around you.

When to Go
