A person who is going to spend a vacation in central Europe, ride mountain skiing or visit amazing museums, is very important the question of how to get to Austria so that it is quickly, comfortable and inexpensive.
It is recommended to go directly from Moscow or St. Petersburg by plane in the midst of the tourist season. In this case, you do not have to pay for transit visas, the road takes about 3 hours. The road with a direct train sometimes costs either as an airplane, or even more expensive. Many airlines, especially the Austrian ones, provide discounts on the tourist season, and if you are not too picky, you can fly away by the budget charter flight. When traveling by train, you will have to pay transit visas in Poland and the Czech Republic, and sometimes, depending on the route, – and in Germany. If you go with transfers, you can significantly save. The plane can be reached by Warsaw, Prague, Berlin, Munich, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt-on-Main.
Perhaps there is no option how to get to Austria is cheaper than through Frankfurt. From here comes the night train, the cost of which is not more than 30, if it is a sedentary carriage. But the road from Frankfurt takes about 6 hours, and the cars are comfortable.
