Public Transport and Travel

Get to Vienna

By train

Vienna is well-reachable by train and overland busses. Long-distance trains stop at the Vienna Main Station (Hauptbahnhof), local and private trains also at Wien Westbahnhof or Wien Mitte. The national railway company is ÖBB.

By plane

Most of the international airlines will bring you to Vienna International Airport VIE. The airport is around 20km from the city center but is well-connected with public transport. Please note that you will need an additional ticket as Vienna’s public transport does not cover this route. You have several options to get from the airport to the center:

  • Local Train S7

    • An easy option to reach the city is the suburban railway S7. Trains depart from the airport approximately every 30 minutes. The journey to the two most central stops, Wien-Mitte or Praterstern, takes about 20-25 minutes. Tickets for €4.40 can be purchased in the ÖBB app or at the vending machine at the airport.

  • City Airport Train

    • The CAT also runs every 30 minutes between the airport and Wien-Mitte station. The journey takes approx. 16 minutes. Tickets for €14.90 (one-way) or €24.90 (return) can be purchased at the green vending machine at the airport.

  • Airport bus

    • In addition, the city center can be reached within approx. 20 minutes via the Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz bus stop. The buses run every 30 minutes.

Public Transport

Vienna has a fast and well-developed public transport network, including subway, trams, busses, and railways, making traveling around the city convenient.

Depending on your stay, you can buy tickets for single rides, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, one week, or longer. Tickets are sold in the entry area of subway stations, in the online shop of Wiener Linien, or the WienMobil app.

Please note that if you travel by subway, you must purchase and punch your ticket before you enter the platform area. If you travel by bus or tram, you can buy and punch it in the vehicle.

Taxi/Cab

Taxi and cab apps (Uber, Bolt) are available within the city.

Bike

A nice way to get around Vienna is by using the bike-sharing option offered by Wiener Linien. Bikes can be rented and returned at various stations. Registration and payment are done using a mobile app.
