Finding the latest official Austrian or German transport maps and up-to-date timetables on the web is sometimes easier if you know the German words to search for and the local city name if it’s different from its name in your language e.g. Wien / Vienna. Searching in English, for example, may lead you to out of date maps on travel websites or in some cases to nothing at all. If that happens, the German-English glossary below can help you find and understand the maps and information that you need.
Another useful tool is Google Translate.
