Travelling to Vienna

by Plane

Vienna has an international airport (VIE) situated in the south of the city. Once you are there the easiest way to reach the city is to take a train from the airport train station.

In case you arrive to Vienna via train you will most likely exit at the new main train station just south of the city center. From there you can just get into the local transportation system of the “Wiener Linien” (to subway (U-Bahn), tram (Straßenbahn), local bus (Bus)).

by Car

Vienna has a rather bad parking in the center. In case you are traveling by car we highly recommend to leave it in one of the “park+ride” P+R garages (an overview can be found here and here). From there you can just get into the local transportation system of the “Wiener Linien” (to subway (U-Bahn), tram (Straßenbahn), local bus (Bus)).
