Nothing would make me happier than living in Austria, in the mountains. Shame its quiet expensive
Absolutely beautiful place 😍
Travelled this same train in the opposite direction a couple of weeks ago. It was extremely busy but nevertheless excellent and comfortable. We had first class rail passes and mistakenly thought that as per aircraft, business class was in between first and economy in terms of service. The seats were comfortable and the food was surprisingly good. The OBB lounges are excellent also. What a great company- we used their excellent nightjet service too. And yes, those toilets are so scenic! What a great idea to wrap them in landscape wallpaper! Love your videos, keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing! I absolutely love Railjets 🤗
I'm from Slovenia, but I travelled with Railjets many times, with austrian and czech sets (but I personaly prefer austrian sets). Comparing to the other trains aroud Europe I've used so far, Railjet is still my favorite intercity train. Great comfort, clean trains, great service, very friendly staff. I haven't tried busiess class yet, but economy and 1st class were already great joy to ride for me, especialy in the quiet zone which feels at least as quiet as a library. ÖBB realy thought of every little detail on these trains, eve the family section witl the child cinema must be real fun for kids and families travelling together. Great job ÖBB! And to you, great job for your videos! :)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I am living in Wörgl. My hobby is to drive as a passanger through Austria by train. I know like every single train and its timetable on this route and it makes me happy to see videos like this because then I know how much it is worth to live here. I think that all your videos are great and I like them all.
Very cool! 😎
One of my favourite train of all time.
Mine too!!
Austria also has the best trains and wonderful landscape. I do enjoy watching your videos and always never miss a video you upload. 😊
Glad you like them Andrew, thanks for watching 🤗
LOVE AUSTRIA ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
Absolutely 😁
Went Zurich to Wien back in Summer 2019 diverted via Kitzbüel in First Class. Beautiful scenic run with exemplary Railjet. Love these trains. Superb video.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the new intro.
The same music, but with all the recent train journeys that makes it modernistic
I'm glad you like it Pedro ☺️
Travelled partially on this route last year in CityJet from Kufstein to Innsbruck. It was the most scenic train route I've travelled in till date. Loved every bit of it.
Oh boy, you've got loads better to come on other routes then 😁
Probably best loco-hauled train. Would love to ride it. Wish we had comfort and clean trains like that here. OBB did a good job.
I agree with you ☺️
Railjet only has comfort in first and premium class. Economy compares to a wooden board coated with linen.
@@kappafaktor5501 What you're describing sounds a lot like polish railways 1st class... so for me its still better
i travel every day with trains in Salzburg, and in my free time i watch again train videos like THIS with my gf. Then the next day starts again
😁😁😁
Excellente vidéo Ferroviaire 🚅🇦🇹📽️👍🤩
Another fine clip of interest, thank you. Just to remark, I think you have the best introduction to your clips of any train TH-camr, probably any TH-camr I watch.
Many thanks Andrew, that means a lot! I'm happy some people have noticed the intro 😊
Great video !!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you for a splendid video ! I completely agree with all that you say. Salzburg is fabulous, as are the OBB RailJets, my favourite European long distance train. I use the service between Wien and Zurich, using 1st Class, and the train has never disappointed me. I always use the OBB site for my reservations too.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the lovely comment Anthony ☺️🙏🏻
Great trip. As always, Railjet is awesome. That's why the first stop after Salzburg is far, because the direct route between two cities passing other country. That solo business class seating with glass partition feels like secret/private/hidden room. Ahh I know the reason why Railjet train consists always longer.
Yes indeed! I just love Railjets and such variety for of service for so many people 😀
The new intro is amazing!
Glad you like it 🙂🙏🏻
Las dos ciudades de Viena e Innsbruck (Austria) tienen Estaciones centrales ferroviarias son muy hermosos, modernos, grandes, seguros, ordenados y limpios 😍😍❤❤
They sure are 😀😀😀
The Train-managers announcement said that persons had been seen on the line and the german Police had shut all rail traffic down for an hour while they searched for them, hence the delay @14:30.
Ah, thank you 🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip How late was the train arriving at innsbruck?
@@Fan652w around 15 mins
Great video from the beautiful ÖBB Railjet on a great route with a beautiful alpine panorama🤩👍👍👍👍.
Best Regards from Germany.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes 👍👍👍
That's some crazy wallpaper in the lavatory!
Absolutely is 😊
Amazing video!
I have traveled in the RailJet in all classes and it was amazing! Probably the best train I have ever been on, after the Vande Bharat Express.
It's much better than the Vande Bharat 🙃
@@NonstopEurotrip Wait
you have travelled in it?!
@@PhoenixAviation006 I have, and will again next week 😃
@@NonstopEurotrip yoooooooo!
which one have you been on and what are you going to ride next?
how was it?
i have done almost all of them except the amb andaura, howrah and katra vande bharat
Gracias por el paseo, las imagenes de los Alpes siempre son fantasticas.🇺🇾
You're welcome 😀
Have done Innsbruck to Bregenz, then on to Lindau and also Innsbruck to St Anton. Absolutely superb.
Nice one!
Fabulous thanks for sharing your experience very enjoyable Wayne
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Great video, I took Railjet business class from Vienna to Prague. I was traveling on a first class Eurail pass. I had to pay 15 extra euros for the business class. It was well worth it. Comfy seats, tons of leg room. They even gave me a free beer for upgrading. I paid the upgrade on the train.
Oh wow! 😃😃😃
Another excellent video. I am booked to travel Business Class from Budapest to Zürich on 05 March, 2023. It was interesting for me to see the seats in Business Class and I am fortunate enough to have booked seat 52, the seat you said was your favourite. I hope that the service of catering is as good as you mention. I've heard stories about difficulties with payment by Bank card and I just hope my British bank card will be accepted. I am really looking forward to my trip on ÖBB Railjet Business class.
The problem with bank cards is that some retailers can't tell the difference between a Visa or MC credit card and a UK debit card issued by those companies, they don't want to swallow the higher commision on a credit card transaction. This is much worse in Germany where they still use the old Eurocheque system for Debit cards and not all terminals recognise Visa and MC debit cards for what they are, this is gradually improving and the situation in Austria is better in my experience.
I'd suggest getting a transferwise card, better rates and always works. I've had problems with my uk cards too
Stunning train and route.
Many thanks!
Nice video! I've taken the Railjet twice (both in economy class) - once from Zurich to Innsbruck and back, and once from Vienna to Salzburg and back. One of my favorite trains :)
Absolutely agree 👍🏻💯
Great video as always. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the Railjet, only done it in Economy Class but is a must when travelling by train in Austria, Railjet one way and, if possible, WestBahn back!
I love them both 😍
Watching from Silang Cavite Philippines
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ja,wunderbar....danke sehr mein freund!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the video. I am back in my hometown Innsbruck for the first time in 3 years right now and will for sure take a Railjet during my vacation. In my opinion the Railjet is the best train in Europe. Nevertheless I will try out the new Westbahn service to/from Innsbruck, too.
Have fun!
I took a train from Vienna to Hallstatt
Nicely made video. Travel by train in many countries like Germany, Austria, Norway by first class is very enjoyable. I feel you have focused a little bit more on the inside of the train rather than the scenic outside..
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment 😊
My opinion, at this time OBB by far best railway company in Europe!!!
On long journey yes, commuter trains are always late…
SBB too 🙂
Wir sind mit dem Zug zuerst nach Stuttgart dann mit TGV nach Paris. 5 tage später mit dem Eurostar durch den Ärmelkanal nach London. Das war eine Mega coole fahrt. 👍
Enjoyed the ride-along! I don't know if you had time to visit any Innsbruck sites, but if you ever get the chance, their Botanischer Garten (Botanic Garden) is an excellent way to spend an afternoon.
Next time I will, for sure!
Trains look amazing compared to some of the services on UK trains, beautiful scenery
Yes, very true🤗
I wish we gotten simliar quality of services
Very nice Austrian Train. Wow 🤩👍🍾
Many thanks!
What a beautiful landscape!! Nice video once again!
But as a history buff, i want to make a vital correction!!
The Battle of Castle Itter was not some kind of last stronghold of some German unit.
It was a VIP prison for French politicians, athletes etc.
In May 1945, the SS garrison abandoned the castle, the prisoners took the arms and then aided by both a small US force that arrived and a Wehrmacht unit under German major Josef Gangl which was collaborating with the Austrian resistance. Gangl knew the SS will return to execute the prisoners and all together, the set a defence to fight the SS.
It was the only battle of WWII where US, German and French men fought together against Germans!
Thanks for the information 🙂ℹ️
Thanks for your review! I’m going on this exact route and class tomorrow but due to track closures it’s going the long way round and taking nearly 4 hours 😂 The views will be great though I’m sure!
Best of luck!
Amazing trip.
Very!
Really appreciate it 🙂🙂🙂☺️😂
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have you been on the Jakarta to Surabaya (Indonesia) passenger train? This trip was featured as part of the BBC's "Great Asian Railway Journeys" series with Michael Portillo, a few years ago.
Not yet, but i plan to this year!!!
Have not tried business class personally as I find 1st class more than comfortable for my journeys. I always use the railjet on a Saturday lunchtime in early September each year travelling from Munich Hbf to Innsbruck on the Feldkirch train for my annual holiday in the Tyrol. Regularly travel 2nd class whilst there for trips out and about!
Fair enough! Amazing trains 🤗
Bom dia muito lindo trem o melhor trem da Austrália obb business class de
😍😍😍
Railjet is amazing
Absolutely 🤗
I’m so crazy. Zurich to Budapest almost 11hours😂
11:35 - just as I thought... Going from Salzburg to Wörgl via Freilassing, Traunstein, Prien, Rosenheim and then in the direction of Kufstein onwards to Innsbruck...
*edit - next weekend I'm going this route in the morning (6.56) to go to Bregenz from Innsbruck via DB Intercity. Thank you for the preview.
Indeed!!
@@NonstopEurotrip I've been working 35km away from Traunstein for 11 Years and there I've seen this Railjet pass through a few times. Also the Railjets and Westbahn trains going to Munich.
Rode the same route (well Vienna to Insbruck so this route+) last june. Excellent train, second in Europe only to Frecciarossa IMO.
And SBB Giruno 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip never took one of those, so I can't judge.
In January2018 i have Tagen a RJBC Service from Salzburg-Bischofshofen. The best Trainconpauntment 2hat I have ever ride
Congratulations for 64.1k subscribers.
Thank you so much 😀

You write in the film that OBB is on top5. Make some video about this top5 if you can:)
I plan some different style of videos later in the year 👍🏻
(bounces happily)
Seems to me this is going to be the model for companies trying to develop rather than just run a few trains.
Amazing trains and service, I just love them!
Innsbruck-Salzburg is a tad short to pay the additional 15 € to upgrade from 1st to business, but OK ;-)
The section in Germany often "provides" extra time, or even a detour via Hochfilzen (and Kitzbühl and so on), so it might make sense after all #LOL
I only use the buisness class when I'm on my way to a *really* important meeting.
Except once when I got an upgrade voucher, and once when the train was crazy full and I had no reservation. Both these occations were in the pre-RailJet era. Some of the remaining ÖBB EuroCity (or short "EC") trains also have some 2 buisnessclass compartments.
I agree, but I wanted to film it outside of Vienna 😸 On longer distances, it's well worth it!
0:16 There are much effects.
Thanks much for your video. It is very helpful. I am planning to visit Austria in the mid of 2023 for 2 weeks. I am just a casual traveller. I plan to travel from Innsbruck to Salzburg on Oct 23 after lunch time. I search online and find a train from Innsbruck 1432 to Salzburg 1621 run by Westbahn which costs Euro 13.99. Do you recommend this one? or you have other suggestions.
Glad it was helpful!
The seats are identical to etr 500 Frecciarossa executive class. Hmmmmm
You should travel from london to istanbul by train.
One day I will, for sure!
We have about 30 clients here. Today we encountered an unfortunate incident. The OBB train from Vienna to Budapest does not have carriage 408. There are 30 passengers here. OBB company is not a good company. Responsible company. Now we have no seats left. We are very happy now, but also very restless and anxious. We didn’t know how to get to Budapest. Even the coach manager couldn't help us get on the bus. This is a serious oversight. We ask OBB to compensate us for all losses. We will publish this serious mistake on various network platforms (Google, IG, Facebook, TH-cam) to let everyone have a deeper understanding of OBB's mistake. OBB has not made any compensation to us.
I've never had any problems
Is the the next step up from first class or the class below? (I've got a 1st class Interrail to use soon)
All the information is in the video
I enjoy your videos as the show what a greedy flustercluck of a country the UK has become when it's companies,transport especially, are just hellbent on charging customers stupidly high prices for such appalling services. All in the name of profit,profit,profit. While most of Europe and it's governments manage to balance a good level of service and sensible fares across their networks and their services are used a lot because of this. Austria is such a beautiful country as well and travelling by rail looks a great way of visiting it's many places of beauty and interests without breaking the bank to do it.
I can't the UK rail system
I tried OBB Business Class(September 2022) once and I was very dissapointed. The on board Service missed. The conductor just check my ticket and that's was all, I never seen her in the coach after that. Is true that I was the only passenger on this class, but still.
And the ride was 1h45 long.
Oh no 😦
Yes a lot of luxurious travel but my only concern is the long walks on the what seems to be endless platforms and when you do get to the end -nowhere to sit or am I missing something . There appears to be a lack of seating for waiting travelers on the platforms ?
Most platforms have seating
Hi, was this seat 51 you had? Greetings from Munich.
I believe so 🙂
In the business class they only give free drinks or tea but no food, right? Innsbruck - Vienna
correct, yes!
@@NonstopEurotrip how do you turn on the air conditioning? I'm on the train literally alone and I don't know how to turn it on haha
Which train you prefer more sitting one's or sleeper one ?
That's depends what's happening outside 😃
Hello! I really enjoy watching your videos! Can I ask a question here, are the trains in Europe dog friendly? I’m leaving 🇦🇺 for 🇫🇷 with my small Westie in the coming weeks and love train travel. Thank you in anticipation of your reply.
Most are, yes! Up to a 10kg dog can usually be taken without pre booking, but be sure to check each operator, for free. But many accept bigger ones too, for a fee. Finland are especially dog friendly and have dedicated areas where you can book a seat for you 🐶!
Thank you so much I value your reply!
Please, how much it cost for someone to go from vienna to innsbruck in this business class train ? And what about the price of economic class
All the prices are on the OBB website
@@NonstopEurotrip thank you for your reply
Escalator broken? I got tired just watching you walking up those steps.
Ummm can't remember 🤣🤣🤣
How is the ride quality?
Really great!!!
What’s the reason in any trip review to embed that synthetic kind of music. I don’t like at all. Trip review is beautiful though. Please some originality.
It's called production quality my friend
Fuf add do as
Amazing, when you think you've seen every piece of nonsense, this video is suggested to you and you know there's still room for improvement, 20 minutes of wasted life 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
kkkk there are youtubers who work harder than me!
Thanks for watching
@@NonstopEurotrip and the funniest thing is, you're serious too 🤣🤣🤣 but I can calm you down, after 5 seconds I shut off, I don't look at every crap
@@userbarny6271 Still, TH-cam makes me over €4000 per month.
I'll start watching these videos when I once again see people's faces, and not those insane facial diapers that serve no real purpose.
Yet, you're still watching...
Travelled twice btw Prag and Vienna on both Czech and Austrian Sets.
Which was your favourite?
