How far is Switzerland from Vienna? Can I travel there by Train? |
Travel Info What language do they speak? Will I be okay just going for the day without a guide? Travel Tips The information given previously seems correct (770 kilometres or about 480 miles, reachable in 9 hours by train, thinking about Zurich. Now, although small, Switzerland is a very multifaceted country - and the different parts may be some extra hours away from Zurich (the most practical railway station to arrive from Austria). Naturally you can spend a whole day in Zurich, on foot, just to see what's going on. The medieval alley ways, the CBD with it's variety of luxurious shops and the lake are well-known attractions. In Zurich, the official language is German - but it's easy to get through in English. Most clerks would be able to speak English, even most people on the street will be able to communicate in English (more or less). All touristic information is available in English anyway... Source(s): http://www.myswitzerland.com Other Travel Tips Vienna is sorta far away, because it is on the other side of Austria. It would take a while by car, but train is fine. The great thing about Europe is that you can go virtually anywhere by train, and efficiently too. Its a bit far for a day trip though. Perhaps overnight would be ok. They speak German there, but a good number speak English. You should be able to get around without a guide. If you arent too street-wise, you would be better off sticking with a tour group. As far as Switzerland is concerned, French and German and some Italian in the South are the languages. Experience in traveling in central Europe It's about 150 miles. Travel by train is easy, and highly recommended - you'll be travelling through the beautiful alps! (But do travel by daytime). Besides that, both Austrian and Swiss trains are generally very luxurious. The main language is Switzerland is German, although in some parts they speak French (Lausanne, Geneve). In Austria they speak German. Most people will speak enough english to understand you. Going to Vienna for a day will be fine, but consider Salzburg as well (Mozart's place of birth) - a lot of culture, and about halfway from Switzerland to Vienna. I had a girlfriend in Austria for a while. just come back Switzerland and Vienna. i only speaks English, but had no problem going around. Most people there speaks good english and they are very nice too. Train is the best way to travel in europe. but from where to Switzerland you are travelling from? Assuming it's Zurich, it's 9 hours train to Vienna, shortest. we stopped at Salzburg on the way, it's very small nice city, and from Salzburg is 3 more hours to Vienna. If you are travelling from other part of Switzerland, usually it will take longer than 9 hours. here is a site that has train schedule information for your reference: http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en?... |
