Cinque Terre Travel Guide


Situated approximately 80 kilometres to the south of Genoa, there exists a genuine haven for hiking enthusiasts and those searching for tranquility: Cinque Terre. This collection of five charming villages along the Ligurian coastline includes Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The Cinque Terre National Park spans an impressive 3,860 hectares and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Adjacent to this area is the Whale Sanctuary in the Mediterranean Sea, established in 1999, which serves as a habitat for fin whales, striped dolphins, and numerous other rare species of whales and dolphins. Visitors to this picturesque region can gather information at one of the “Welcome Centers.” Here, tickets for Cinque Terre are available for purchase, with options that include or exclude train travel. In most instances, accessing the hiking paths incurs a fee.
Whether you are an experienced hiker or a casual walker, the trails of Cinque Terre offer varying levels of difficulty, allowing everyone to revel in the breathtaking natural beauty of the rugged coastline and cascading vineyards. Each village along the path provides unique landscapes and invites visitors to indulge in local cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and regionally produced wines. As dusk falls, the villages come alive with charm, where quaint cafés and vibrant markets create perfect settings for unwinding after a day of exploration. With the sun setting over the horizon, it becomes abundantly clear that Cinque Terre is not merely a destination; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Italian life.
The cosy overnight trains operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (OBB) provide a seamless connection between Munich and Vienna, making this excellent destination easily accessible.
Basel Travel Guide


Basel is the third-largest city in Switzerland, following Zurich and Geneva. Known as the cultural capital of Switzerland, Basel captivates with its fascinating contrasts and warm hospitality. In addition to numerous historical buildings, the canton of Basel is home to around 40 museums.
The University of Basel was founded in the year 1460 and is one of the oldest educational institutions in Europe. Basel is a significant trade fair location. The pharmaceutical companies Novartis and Hoffmann-La Roche have their headquarters in Basel, establishing the city as an international centre for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Brenner Railway with the OBB railjet


The Brenner Railway forms a section of one of the most important European railway connections. As part of the Berlin-Palermo railway axis, it connects Munich via Innsbruck directly with Verona and then with Bologna.
Vienna with the OBB


To describe Vienna in a single eBook is simply impossible. For this reason I have tried to present the city with lots of photographs and create an overview of exciting places and locations to visit on your next trip to this great city. Almost every street corner in Vienna has some connection to a famous musician, poet, politician or even members of the imperial family. I am inviting you to come on a colourful walk through the most liveable city in the world. Vienna can be reached from many European Cities on direct route by train. Especially the night train connections are very comfortable and travellers arrive in the city of Music whilst asleep.
Graz with the OBB


Graz can be easily reached with the OBB trains. Thanks to the direct OBB nightjet connection, passengers reach the city of Graz asleep and stress-free. The old town of Graz is always worth a visit and offers numerous cultural highlights as well as excellent regional cuisine with many specialties.
Salzburg with the OBB


Mozart, music, good food, and friendly people: This is Salzburg, the world’s stage. When visiting the city, you will discover very quickly that there are many more reasons to come to Salzburg more than just once. The Westbahn course turns at Salzburg towards Bischofshofen, Villach, and Italy, and the highways A1 and A10 split here as well. This allows visitors to reach major cities like Munich or Vienna quickly and conveniently. Having a drink at sundown at the Mönchsberg hill or sitting in a coffeehouse in the garden of Mozart’s house at Makartplatz is a true Salzburg experience.
Salzkammergut with the OBB


Salzkammergut is the name given to the region from Fuschlsee, Wolfgangsee and Mondsee to the Almtal. It also extends from the Vöckla valley to the Dachstein and Grimming. The area is particularly popular with hikers. With the OBB nightjets you can easily get to the Salzkammergut via the city of Salzburg, which you can then travel to with the OBB regional trains.
Munich with the OBB


The typical Bavarian way of life, the hearty meals and the ubiquitous beer are just a few of the reasons why tourists love to visit Munich. It is easy to walk to the city centre from Munich’s main train station. Even from your comfortable seat on the OBB Railjet you will be able to see that traffic in Munich is a whole other ballgame. Thankfully, the city is equipped with an excellent network of public transportation, which takes you from point A to point B quickly and without traffic jams.
