How to find us & Hotels
Public transport is provided by Wiener Linien in cooperation with ÖBB and other providers. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines or via the app; a credit card or debit card (like in London or Brussels) will not function as a ticket. Please note that tickets must be validated (at the „lock“). Day tickets are available; for several days, the 8-day environmental ticket is recommended, which several people can also use together.
Transport airport – city center: We recommend the Austrian Federal Railways – S 7 or Regionalbahn – to Wien Mitte or Hauptbahnhof; costs €4.50 per trip. There is a special City Airport Train (the green line) which is a bit more comfortable but significantly more expensive. For some, depending on the hotel, the airport bus is an option. Taxis cost around €40.
We ask you to book your room via the Vienna Tourist Info website.
