By Train

The train system is excellent, and reliable trains run frequently from Vienna's Schnellbahn stations to most of the destinations covered in this chapter. The main east-west train line cuts through the Vienna Woods; the main north-south line out of Vienna traverses the eastern edge of the Vienna Woods. Trains leave Vienna's Südbahnhof regularly for Baden, with stops in Gumpoldskirchen and in Mödling.

Train service in the Weinviertel is regular to Laa an der Thaya, Mistelbach, and Retz. You can get to the Weinviertel from Wien-Nord/Praterstern, then connect to buses running between the small villages.

The Schnellbahn No. 7 running from Wien-Mitte (Landstrasser Hauptstrasse) stops at Petronell, with service about once an hour. Carnuntum is about a 10-minute walk from the Petronell station. Trains go on to Hainburg, stopping at Bad Deutsch-Altenburg.
