Vienna to Bratislava train sparks talk of rail over flying
Original: ✈️ Nobody tells you this about European trains. A €19 ticket from Vienna to Bratislava. One hour. No airport. No securit

Why now: Cheap, fast cross-border train options are drawing attention as travellers compare them unfavourably with short-haul flights.
