Questions & Answers about Traveling from Vienna to Hallstatt

Once you get to the Hallstatt Bahnhof train station, you can catch a ferry to the opposite side of the lake to the beautiful old town center. The cost of this ferry ticket varies, but you can expect to pay about four euros for a one-way trip. Cash is best for buying a ticket onboard.

The distance between Vienna and Hallstatt is approximately 86 miles (138 km). Depending on how you choose to travel, it usually takes between two and three hours one way. Driving with a private car service is usually the fastest option if no sightseeing is done.

The price of a train ticket from Vienna to Hallstatt will vary depending on your booking time and the class of ticket you purchase. Most travelers have found that visiting Hallstatt from Vienna costs between 20 and 55 euros, with tickets becoming more expensive closer to the departure date.

Unfortunately, if you plan to visit Hallstatt by train, you should know that direct train tickets for this route are limited, so many travel by car. In most cases, you will likely encounter at least one transfer, usually at the Attnang-Puchheim station, before you get to Hallstatt.

If you're on a budget, ride the bus. Ticket prices start at around 20 euros per one-way trip. If you want more comfort and less fuss, car travel with a private driver from Daytrip is the best option for door-to-door service.

Train and bus travel is scenic, but most prefer to book a private car transfer service like Daytrip. With Daytrip, you can stop and see places like the picturesque spa town of Bad Ischl, the quiet imperial town of Melk, and the imposing structure of Kreauzenstein. There's much to see and do!

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand

“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Wonderful

“We booked a one - way trip from Passau, Germany to Prague, CR. Throughout the booking, Daytrip@daytrip.com was very communicate about our trip. When our ship arrived in Passau, we waited for our car and drive. Fifteen minutes before its arrival we realized that we had scheduled the wrong date. We telephoned Daytrip and explained our error. Daytrip arranged for another car and driver and within three hours, he had arrived. THAT is customer service. Our driver, Jici, was professional and provided us with all the comfort we expected. Thank you Daytrip.”

First class transfer

“This morning, 13th December 2017 we used Daytrip for our transfer from Vienna to Hallstatt. My chauffeur was Mr. Peter D. It took about 3 hours to get to Hallstatt. Mr. Peter D. arrived at our hotel in Vienna half an hour before our designated time. We knew it because He arrived right after we settled the hotel's bill. It was impressive because He's not letting the client to wait and even could depart early and the bonus was we could arrive early at Hallstatt. The transfer run smoothly and what we're really amazed was how he accompanied us until our hotel in Hallstatt which located in the center of the city, that made him to wait for our shuttle bus to depart, accompanied us until infront of the receptionist and took care of our luggage. He even paid for our shuttle bus. He's really a great and friendly chauffeur. He was trully an asset for the company. We felt like having a first class transfer. Oooo...last but not least...the car was so clean, nice, comfy and during our trip...the background music was baroque...our favorite. Overall...it was perfect in my opinion. Because actually I felt a little bit worry using a car for our transfer.”

Private transfer Vienna to Hallstatt with Milo

“This is a fantastic company!! Milo was great! He was fun, informative, flexible and a real joy to be around. We didn't feel like hassling with the trains after a looooong transatlantic flight, plus we wanted to stop for some sightseeing in between destinations without lugging luggage around, so we called Daytrip! I wish there was a Daytrip in every location I travel. I would use them EVERYWHERE! Very happy customers!”
