Vienna–Trieste by train with ÖBB Railjet: closer than ever

trieste vienna

Starting from December 14, 2025, traveling between Vienna and Trieste (and back) has never been easier, faster, or more comfortable. Thanks to the new daily direct ÖBB Railjet connection and the Koralm tunnel, the two cities are now linked in just 6 hours and 30 minutes on weekends, and 6 hours and 45 minutes on weekdays.

A perfect opportunity to discover – or rediscover – Trieste in a sustainable, relaxing, and comfortable way.

Trieste: a city to discover in every season

Trieste is the perfect destination for a weekend or a longer stay. A city suspended between Central Europe and the Mediterranean, rich in culture, architecture, and fascinating landscapes. From the elegance of the seafront to the literary traces in its historic cafés, from the charm of the Karst Plateau to the exhibitions and theatres in the city centre.

And now, thanks to the new connection, all of this is more accessible than ever.
