Travel from Paris to Salzburg

We are going to Paris and then want to travel to Salzburg. Is there a train from Paris to Salzburg? The flights from Paris to Salzburg have 2 stops and can take 12 hours with layovers! We are hoping not to have to go thru Vienna

No direct trains. The simplest need one change at Stuttgart and take just under 9 hours. Search with your dates and times on the Austrian Railways website:

You can either fly into Munich and take the train from there, or take the train all the way from Paris:

www.bahn.de (German Railways)

www.tgv-europe.com (French Railways)

Booking a long distance train from resp. in France is cheaper if done in advance, just like with airlines, so book early.

For trains within Germany (resp. from Muncih airport to Salzburg), no booking is necessary.

What are your intention beyond Salzburg?

We are planning to rent a car and stay in St Wolfgang for a week and then drive to Lake Garda

Has anyone taken the night train from Paris to Salzburg - booking thru a website called %26quot;bonjour la france%26quot;? Or should we just drive?

%26gt;booking thru a website called %26quot;bonjour la france%26quot;?

Trains are not planes. Any booking through a third party will be more expensive than the normal ticket price. Unless you are just re-routed to the SNCF...

%26gt;Or should we just drive?

If you prefer a very long and stressful drive and a large nternational drop-off fee at the end, why not?
