Get in and around

Air

Train

Metro

Tram

'Schwechat' is Viennas
international airport. Its
modern and very well
organised. The fastest airport
to city centre route is the
City Airport Train (CAT) it
takes 16 minutes and
departs every 30 minutes to
Wien-Mitte. The cheapest
option is to catch the local SBahn 7 train (25 minutes)
starting at 4:30 AM, but high
staircases make it impractical
with luggage. Taxis are
readily available pre-book
online for a flat rate.

Hauptbahnhof Wien is
Viennas main train station.
The station itself features
dozens of restaurants and
shops. Connections can be
easily made from here to the
citys underground, tram and
bus lines. Tickets for journeys
to other cities within Austria
can be bought from
machines inside the station.
Tickets for international or
long distance travel can be
bought at the service desk or
pre-booked online.

The Metro is Viennas best


transport option and is
available within the city and
to outlying suburbs
departing every 5 minutes
(10 at night; all night Friday
and Saturday). Purchase
tickets at tobacconists, online
or via station machines.
Bundles of 4 single journey
tickets or 24/48/72 hour and
weekly tickets are available.
Single journey tickets can
also be used on buses and
trams make sure you prevalidate or risk a fine.

Trams have the best network


for reaching the outer limits
of the city, but they can be
hard to navigate for the
inexperienced. Stick to the
underground, unless you
know the exact route you
want to travel. If you do
decide to use the trams,
stops are well marked
throughout the city and
depart frequently look for
the red and white
'Strassenbahn Haltestelle'
signs.

Car

Taxi

Bus

Bicycle

Many people dont drive in


the inner city due to the fact
that Viennas city centre is
relatively compact. Parking
garages are available and onstreet parking (2 hours
weekdays, free Friday 22:00
Monday 09:00) is limited.
Pre-purchase parking
vouchers from tobacconists,
machines or on-the-spot via
SMS. For a cheaper option,
leave cars at Park&Rides
near stations.

Vienna has an abundance of


taxis and finding one should
not be hard. There are clearly
marked taxi stands
throughout the city and its
also possible to hail one from
the roadside. Taxis charge a
basic fare then an extra fare
that is calculated based on
the time of day and distance
travelled. Special services,
like taxis for mobility
impaired, are also available
by telephone.

Buses for travel within


Vienna dont depart as
frequently as the
underground does. Night
buses operate after 00:30
(check stops for the N sign).
Buses that go to destinations
outside the city leave from
depots adjacent to the major
train stations. Buses to major
international cities depart
from the Vienna
International Bus Terminal
(VIB) at Erdberg tickets can
be purchased at a service
desk or online.

Viennas compact city centre


makes it a perfect place to
cycle. Cycling here is very
safe, with clearly marked
cycle paths throughout the
city. Look for colourful City
Bikes at clearly marked cycle
stations usually multicoloured and easy to notice.
Bikes can be returned to any
cycle station with a free place
available. Pre-register online
before your trip to save time
and get the first hour free.

To stand at the pulpit of


the iconic St Stephens is
to commune with the
divine. Founded in 1137
and finished in 1511, its
said that Beethoven
discovered his deafness
when he saw birds fly
from the bell tower but
couldnt hear the bells
toll. This Romanesque
structure survived WWII
fire damage and hosts a
number of classical
concerts and choirs
throughout the year.

The seat of Viennas


municipal
administration is as
imposing a presence as
the officials that work
inside. Take a tour on
Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 13:00 to
explore the impressive
State Rooms. The
square in front hosts
year-round events, like
the bustling Opera Film
Festival, extravagant Life
Ball in Spring and the
annual Christmas
Markets, a seasonal
must-do.

Enjoy a hot pretzel and


send your children
skyward at the iconic
Giant Ferris Wheel. One
of Viennas largest parks,
the Prater began life as
an imperial hunting
ground and over time
evolved into a park of
year-round beauty. The
Wurstelprater
Amusement Park offers
fun for families and
thrill-seekers alike and is
open between 15 March
and 31 October.

The Secession is a must


for every Art Nouveau

hall and golden roof built
in 1897 was home to the
Sesessionist artist
movement and
personalities like Gustav
Klimt. Today, the
Secession houses Klimts
Beethoven Frieze and
various exhibitions of
modern artists.

Europes largest cemetery


by number of interred
(more than 3.3 million), is
located in an outer district
of Vienna. Opened in
1874, this
interdenominational
cemetery stretches over
2.5 square kilometres and
is the final resting place of
world-famous persons
such as Beethoven, Loos
and Strauss. A beautiful
Art Nouveau-style church
is at the cemeterys centre.

Hydrofoil on the River

Baden

Danube

by Carmen

by Dominik
This transport route
between Bratislava (and
Budapest) has always
been a secret. The antique
voskhod hydrofoils are
remnants of the
communist era. Its
cheaper than the Twin
City Liner and you pass
by the Freudenau hydroelectric power plant and
water gate. The hydrofoil
departs Wednesday to
Sunday at 09:45.

Baden is one of Austrias


most famous spa towns.
The healing properties of
its sulphur springs have
attracted guests since the
Roman era. Baden has an
elegant casino,
Biedermeier architecture,
and many parks and
museums. Hiking and
cycling trails lead into the
nearby Vienna Woods.

Handelskai 265,
Anlegestelle 6

Dominik has
fond
memories of
childhood
trips to
Viennese
pastry shops
and now
calls Vienna
home.

Carmen
would love to
relax in the
comfy
atmosphere
of Baden
every single
day.
