West from the Austrian capital to Bavaria in one private drive. Out on the A1 past St. Pölten, Melk and Linz, over the Inn at Braunau and on to Munich — about 4h 25m of driving from your Vienna hotel or Vienna Airport to your hotel, the Hauptbahnhof or Munich Airport.
Vienna to Munich takes about 4h 25m of driving before any stops or border time. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us where to collect you in Vienna or at the airport, where you need to be in Munich, and whether you have a flight to catch at the other end.
Pickup at your hotel, apartment or address in Vienna, or at Vienna Airport (VIE) south-east of the city. From the centre the road heads west onto the A1 West Autobahn.
Past St. Pölten the Benedictine abbey of Melk stands right beside the motorway — an easy first break, early in the drive.
The motorway passes the edge of the Upper Austrian capital; a break means a detour into the centre at the Hauptplatz.
After the A25 and the Innkreis A8, the road crosses the Inn from Braunau into Simbach. This is a Schengen-internal crossing, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card within reach.
The A94 through Altötting and Mühldorf leads into Munich from the east: drop-off at your hotel or address, at München Hauptbahnhof, or at Munich Airport (MUC) north-east of the city.
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.

Vienna Airport (VIE) lies south-east of the city, about 20 km from the centre. If you land there and are heading straight for Bavaria, we collect you at the terminal and drive on to Munich: about 430 km and roughly 4h 40m of driving. Mention the airport pickup and your flight number in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
Going the other way? Munich to Vienna drives east from Bavaria to the Austrian capital.
Munich → Vienna →Vienna to Munich is about 404 km by road. From Vienna the A1 West Autobahn runs past St. Pölten, Melk and Linz; the A25 by Wels and the Innkreis A8 continue to the Inn, which the route crosses from Braunau am Inn into Simbach, and the A94 through Altötting and Mühldorf leads into Munich. The other common line stays on the A1 to Salzburg and takes the A8 via Rosenheim; the driver picks on the day, or follows the Salzburg line if you want to stop there. Allow about 4h 25m of driving without breaks.
Direct trains run between Vienna and Munich. Long-distance coach journeys operate as well; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer collects you at your Vienna address or at the airport and drops you exactly where you need to be in Munich — your hotel, the Hauptbahnhof or the airport — with no transfer between stations.
Austria and Germany are both in the Schengen area, so the crossing — Braunau/Simbach on the usual line, or 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; allow some flexibility in journey time, especially before a flight.

In Munich we drop off at your hotel or address, at München Hauptbahnhof close to the centre, or at Munich Airport (MUC), about 39 km from the city centre near Freising.
