Getting around in Austria is somewhat different. Of course there are the standard public transportation systems such as bus, train and cars, but in addition to that you can rent bicycles from railway stations for use in the towns. It makes an excellent environmentally friendly and cheap traveling medium. They would have to be returned to the stations after use. Austria 's railways are very well connected as well, the rail network extends into many parts of Europe allowing students and tourists to take advantage of their time in Europe and see other parts.
