London to Vienna

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

London and Vienna are two of Europe's most iconic capitals, connected by a scenic overland journey of roughly 18–20 hours by train — a popular route for slow travellers avoiding short-haul flights. London draws visitors with its world-class museums, diverse food scene, and vibrant nightlife, while Vienna is celebrated for its imperial palaces, coffee house culture, classical music heritage, and the grand Ringstrasse boulevard. Travelling between the two often means passing through Paris, Brussels, or Cologne, with many choosing to break the journey along the way. It's a favourite route for Interrailers and independent travellers exploring the best of Western and Central Europe.

London to Vienna: Self-Launched Trail

Hit five iconic European cities — Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and Vienna — entirely on your own terms. This self-launched version of Contiki's classic London to Vienna Trail swaps the group coach for trains, trams, and budget flights, and replaces packaged hostel bundles with hand-picked budget stays. You'll visit the same landmarks, eat the same food, and have the same adventures — but with the freedom to linger where you like and save hundreds in the process. All costs are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for London to Vienna yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
