Info
Wien Hauptbahnhof (German for "Vienna Main station"; also referred to in English as "Vienna Hauptbahnhof" and commonly abbreviated in German as "Wien Hbf") is the main railway station in Vienna, Austria, located in the Favoriten district.On 15 December 2006, the city council of Vienna authorised the construction of a new station, known as Wien Hauptbahnhof. Once complete, Wien Hauptbahnhof has replaced the Wien Südbahnhof terminus with a through station linking four major railway lines converging on Vienna from the North, East, West and South. The new station offers significantly improved connectivity, principally focused upon international routes. By moving the main access to Südtiroler Platz, the new station is better connected to the Vienna U-Bahn system, and is also accessible by Vienna S-Bahn, tram and bus lines. The Südtiroler Platz S-Bahn station was renamed Wien Hauptbahnhof (platforms 1 and 2) in December 2012. On the morning of 10 October 2014, Wien Hauptbahnhof was formally inaugurated in a ceremony officiated by Austrian President Heinz Fischer.
