Austria has one of Europe's most reliable and ambitious train companies: The ÖBB ("Österreichische Bundesbahnen") is a driving force in the revival of a trans-European railway network.
For many years, their "DoN" diningcars however, had not been offering any organic food items. Fortunately, this is a thing of the past: On the Railjet train from Salzburg to Vienna and Bratislava (taken February 2023) the menu offered one vegetarian and one meat-based organic main course (spicy rmushroom potato roast and paprika chicken, resp.), an organic goulash meat stew, assorted organic cheese, prepackaged honey and rice wafers, fruit juice and smoothies, tea, one type of each, organic beer and wine. There was no fully organic breakfast, but butter, jam, cereals and honey are.

Comfortable night trains operated by ÖBB and privately held Alpen-Sylt Nachtexpress link the city with many European destinations, e.g. Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Hamburg. Salzburg is also a destination of Westbahn's rapid connections between Vienna and Munich.
