Category: Airplane
Getting TO/AROUND: I arrived and left Vienna by plane. Vienna's International airport is located in Schwechat; about 18 km southeast of Vienna. It is the main hub of Austrian Airlines, but also served by many other airlines. The best and cheapest way to get to town is by the suburban train S7 which is almost as quick as the overpriced City Airport Train (CAT). Please note that the Airport Station is located just outside the central public tranportation zone, therefore you need a ticket which covers two zones.

'Mode': TO
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: Vienna has several train stations which are located all around the town. The West Station (Westbahnhof) is one of the major stations where you can catch trains to Germany and Switzerland. The South Station (Suedbahnhof) is the station for trains to Italy, Slowenia, Hungary, Croatia, Poland and Slowakia. The most centrally located train station is probably Vienna Central (Wien Mitte, Landstasse) which is a hub of the suburban trains (S-Bahn) and other local trains.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: The public transport in Vienna consists of suburban trains (S-Bahn), metro (U-Bahn), trams and buses. Tickets are available from kiosks and ticket machines. A single ticket costs 1,50 Euro and is valid for one trip including change of lines within the Vienna transport zone. There are also 24 h cards (5 Euro) and 72 h cards (12 Euro) available. Tickets have to be punched in the tram or bus or at the barrier before you board the metro.

mvtouring Sun May 18, 2008 16:40 UTC thanks for the lovely comment and ratings ;-) | Bwana_Brown Sat Jan 12, 2008 22:44 UTC This is a very helpful travel guide for Vienna! I was amazed to learn about the size of Karl-Marx-Hof and I also never realized the Giant Ferris Wheel beat London's Eye by a whole century!! | Maurizioago Mon Jul 16, 2007 09:10 UTC I hope to go there one day! Ciao! | Nemorino Sun Jul 15, 2007 16:13 UTC Me again, checking out your updates. I was out cycling for a while, but it got too hot (38º at the moment), so I'll try again later. |
