From the Bavarian capital to the Austrian one in a single private drive. East out of Munich, across the Inn into Austria at Braunau and on along the A1 past Linz and Melk — about 4h 25m of driving from your Munich hotel or Munich Airport to your address in Vienna.
Munich to Vienna is about 4h 25m of driving before stops or border time. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us where to collect you in Munich or at the airport, where you are staying in Vienna, and whether you would like to break the drive in Linz, at Melk Abbey or in Salzburg.
Pickup at your hotel, apartment or address in Munich, at München Hauptbahnhof, or at Munich Airport (MUC) north-east of the city. The usual line leaves Munich eastwards on the A94 through Mühldorf and Altötting.
The road crosses the Inn bridge from Simbach into Braunau. The crossing is Schengen-internal; police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card at hand.
The A25 and A1 skirt Linz; a stop in the centre at the Hauptplatz adds roughly 25 minutes of driving, plus the time you spend there.
The Benedictine abbey stands right beside the A1. It is the easiest break on the route — only a few minutes off the motorway, in the last part of the drive.
The A1 West Autobahn past St. Pölten brings you into Vienna from the west: drop-off at your hotel or address anywhere in the city, or at Vienna Airport (VIE) if you fly on.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, the cross-border route, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

Munich Airport (MUC) lies north-east of the city near Freising, about 39 km from the centre by road. If you land there and want to go straight on to Vienna, we collect you at the terminal: from the airport it is about 400 km and roughly 4h 30m of driving, with no need to go into Munich first. Mention the airport pickup and your flight number in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
Heading back to Bavaria? Vienna to Munich runs the same motorways westwards.
Vienna → Munich →By road, Munich to Vienna is about 404 km. The usual line leaves Munich on the A94 through Mühldorf and Altötting, crosses the Inn from Simbach into Braunau am Inn, and joins the Innkreis A8, the A25 by Wels and the A1 West Autobahn past Linz, Melk and St. Pölten into Vienna. The classic alternative is the A8 via Rosenheim and Salzburg, which joins the same A1; the driver picks the line on the day, or follows the one you ask for if you want to stop in Salzburg. Allow about 4h 25m of driving without breaks, and more for any stops.
Direct trains run between Munich and Vienna, via Salzburg and Linz. Long-distance coach journeys operate on the route too; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer goes from your door in Munich, or the airport, to your address in Vienna, with your luggage in the car and stops where you choose them.
Germany and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so the crossing — at Braunau am Inn on the usual line, or at Walserberg near Salzburg on the A8 — is internal. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur. Every passenger should carry a valid passport or national ID card, and it is wise to allow some flexibility in journey time.
We collect you from hotels, apartments and addresses in Munich, from München Hauptbahnhof, or from Munich Airport (MUC). Address pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting. In Vienna we drop off at your hotel or address anywhere in the city, or at Vienna Airport (VIE), about 429 km from central Munich and roughly 4h 40m of driving — give us your flight time so we can plan the departure from Munich around it.
