GET IN VIENNA 

  

By plane:

Vienna International Airport is located about 18 km (11 miles) south-east of the Austrian capital near to the town of Schwechat. The airport "Wien-Schwechat" is the home base of the flag-carrier Austrian and the budget airlines Fly Niki and Sky Europe. Most European airlines and a significant number of international airlines have direct connections to Vienna from their respective hubs.

There are a number of smaller airports within a two hour commute of Vienna which are served by so-called budget airlines; it is therefore often cheaper to fly to a nearby city and connect by train or bus. Ryanair flies to Linz, Graz and Brno and Sky Europe flies to Bratislava. 

City Airport Train to the Wien-Mitte Railway Station:
The City Airport Train takes you directly from the Vienna International Airport to the Wien-Mitte Railway Station in 16 minutes.

S-Bahn (local commuter train) to and from the Airport: 
The normal S-Bahn (Schnellbahn) (fast regional train) S7 (or S2) is also direct.

Bus (Vienna Airport Lines) to and from the city center
There are two direct Vienna Airport bus lines going every 30 minutes between the Vienna International Airport and Vienna's city center.

1. One bus line goes to "Morzinplatz" next to "Schwedenplatz" very close to the center of the city. At Schwedenplatz, you have two subway lines (U4 and U1), as well as buses and trams.

2. The other bus line goes to the two main railway stations near the city center.

 

By train:

Vienna is a railroad hub, easily accessible from other major European cities. Overnight trains arrive from places like Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Bucharest, Sofia, Belgrade, Berlin, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, Milan, Warsaw, Cracow, Prague, Rijeka, Koper, Split, Zurich, Bregenz, Rome, and Venice. The day trains from Prague take less than four and a half hours, the night train takes a little under nine hours. From Budapest, the train ride is roughly 3 hours.

Vienna has three main stations, Wien Südbahnhof (Southern Railstation), Wien Westbahnhof (Western Railstation), and Wien Landstrasse/Mitte.

Trains from multiple countries can all be arranged via the Austrian ÖBB train system.

 

By car:

Most Austrian highways ("Autobahn") terminate/originate in Vienna.

There is a strictly enforced speed limit of 130 km/h (about 80 mph) on highways. On some highway sections in Vienna, the speed decreases to 80 km/h (about 50 mph). Within towns it is 50 km/h (about 31 mph) and on major roads ("Schnellstraße") it is 100 km/h (about 62 mph).

A Highway Toll Sticker (Vignette) or a GO-Box, depending on vehicle class, is mandatory, and heavy fines are levied for not having either. Usually they can be purchased at petrol (gas) stations.

Drivers in Austria are also required by law to carry certain safety equipment. This includes a reflective vest, first aid kit, and traffic warning triangle.

 

By bus:
Eurolines is a relatively cheap way to reach Vienna from major European cities. Buses usually stop at the subway station Erdberg (line U3).

 

By boat:
Riverboats on the Danube include connections with Linz, Bratislava and Budapest, but it's of little value, unless you just love going on riverboats.
