You won't need a car in Austria. The trains are fast, clean, and on time. It'll give you a chance to take in the beautiful scenery as you travel instead of concentrating on the road.

    Eurolines connects Austria with many other countries.

    If you book well ahead the journey can be much cheaper

    The best way to go to Tirol and to visit it is surely the individual car.

    Public transport can be...
    Public transport can be horrendously expensive. An hour bus journey is equivalent to a 5 hour trip from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia in terms of dollars and cents. Forget about taxis. I wanted to visit the salt mine in Halien and naively thought that I could do it on two legs. Try walking up the hill with two other lady companions who obviously felt you have taken them for a ride on their poor legs that is. Thank goodness for a kind soul who stopped his car and volunteered to drive us there.

    And my goodness what a magnificent view it was from the hilltop. The salt mine's highlight was the slide about 4 storeys down the mine. Don't worry about your pants, you will be provided with overalls.

    The UBahn and tram system are excellent, as is the bus system that links city centre and Airport.
    All are cheap, efficient and easy to use!
