Getting There
Tulln lies 42km (26 miles) west of Vienna, on the south bank of the Danube, and 13km (8 miles) southwest of Stockerau, the next big town, on the north bank of the Danube. If you're driving from Vienna, head west along Route 14.
S-Bahn trains depart from the Wien Nord Station and, more frequently, from the Wien Franz-Josefs Bahnhof daily from 4:30am to 8:30pm (trip time: 27-45 min.). Tulln lies on the busy main rail lines linking Vienna with Prague, and most local timetables list Gmund, an Austrian city on the border of the Czech Republic, as the final destination. For more information, call tel. 05/1717 or check www.oebb.at. We don't recommend taking the bus from Vienna, as it would require multiple transfers.
From mid-May to late September, river cruisers owned by the DDSG-Blue Danube Shipping Line (tel. 01/588800) depart westward from Vienna on Sunday at 8:30am en route to Passau, Germany, and arrive in Tulln around 11:20am; then they continue westward to Krems, arriving there around 1:55pm. For more information, call the shipping line or the tourist office in either Tulln or Krems.
