Directions
The Semmering Railway tour begins at the main entrance of Vienna's 'Hauptbanhof' (main station) at 8:40am. This is very easy to reach using taxis, uber, or trams depending on your location. However, the simplest way is to jump on the u-bahn (underground/metro). Specifically, get on the U1 red line in the direction of Oberlaa, and get off at 'Hauptbanhof-Südtiroler Platz'. Go upstairs to the main concourse level and walk outside to the main entrance (the one with the big clock and the words 'Wien Hauptbanhof' on the glass wall above the doors.
