Baden train station
Train stationDescription
The modern, well-signposted station in Baden near Vienna has a lot of glazed areas and a light-flooded arrivals hall. The station was completely renovated between 2002 and 2004. This created a popular stop and hub for the Southern Railway of Lower Austria with even shorter journey times and a number of comfort solutions.
The adjoining parking lot with e-charging stations provides around 150 parking spaces and the convenient Bike & Ride facility, which offers covered space for almost 500 bicycles, provides a pleasant connection for train and bus passengers. Furthermore, the general refurbishment of the station forecourt, which took place as part of the station renovation, created a Kiss & Ride zone - a short-term parking zone for pick-up and drop-off traffic. A number of stores on the ground floor complete the all-round service-oriented design of the ÖBB station.
Comfortable boarding thanks to raised platforms, a guidance system for the blind and the installation of two lifts round off the friendly atmosphere of the contemporary, highly frequented station.
Connection options
The station is served by regional trains to Wiener Neustadt and Floridsdorf at least twice an hour. Trains on the S3 and S4 rapid transit lines stop every half hour.
A number of inner-city and regional bus lines connect to Baden station and are easily accessible with a short walk to the forecourt. Cabs are also available at the station forecourt.
The Baden Viadukt stop of the Wiener Lokalbahn, the Badner Bahn, can be reached via a transfer point.
History of the station
The first conversion, which significantly changed the appearance of the station on the Southern Railway, which was built in 1839 and rebuilt several times, took place in 1955. Until the 1990s, Baden was a stop for international express trains to and from Italy, making it easy for tourists and spa guests to travel to the spa town. However, these trains ran with up to 18 carriages, which did not allow enough space for all passengers to board and alight along the platforms at the time. The spa guests and travelers were also the reason why the station was manned by train staff from then on, as they had to accompany passengers who wanted to get off in Baden to the front of the train.
Tip: There is a nextbike rental station directly at the station. The bikes are available in Lower Austria from April to mid-November. You can find more information on the website https://www.nextbike.at/de/niederoesterreich/, or in the nextbike app.
