Parkschein

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Car/Motor Home
Getting TO/AROUND: The old city of Vienna and the surrounding districts (number 1 to 9 and 20) are 'pay & display short-stay-parking-zones'. When you park here you need a valid parking permit (to be bought in a 'Tabak Trafik' - tobacco store and at hotels) behind your windscreen from the first minute of your stay. The signs indicating the short stay parking zones are only posted where you enter these districts (it also happened to me that I got a ticket because I didn't know that!). I recommend you to leave the car somewhere out of the inner city and use the efficient public transport system! 30 min are 0.4 Euro. Fines are 21 Euro. 10 min are for free but you have to fill out a special permit for it!
