 Express Bus towards Sud- /
West Bahnhof by filipdebont, 1 more photos
At one of these offices I bought my Vienna card (16,90 euro) - More on this Vienna Card later on.
And I also bought a ticket for the Express bus from the Airport to the City centre (normally 6 euro - with the Vienna card 5 euro).
This Express bus brought me from the Schwechat Airport to the West Bahnhof, from where I could continue my journey with the Underground (U-Bahn).
The bus was parked just outside the airport building, and the departure was every 1/2 hour.
After a 40 minutes drive we arrived at the West Bahnhof.
From the parking just in front of the airport building one had a great view on the Airports control tower; it looked very modern, (see pictures) Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Near the entry of each Underground station (U-Bahn), you find ticket machines.
The use is pretty simple. The price for a single ride is 1,50 euro.
For my first ride (from West Bahnhof to Alser strasse – line U6), I did buy a ticket, for the rest of my Underground transfers I used my Vienna Card (valid for 72 hours).
After you have bought your ticket, you first need to validate it, in the blue validation machines, when you insert your ticket in such a machine, the date and time will be printed on it. And then you can proceed towards the platforms.
Fines can be high, when you are traveling without a ticket. So do not forget it Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

 The U-bahn sign by filipdebont
Most sightseeing in Vienna can be done on foot, but nevertheless, it can be handy to use the U-Bahn, to go fast to the other side of the city, or to give your feet a few moments of rest.
There are 5 Metro - lines in Vienna (U1, U2, U3, U4 and U6) - (What happened with U5?)
Each line has its own colour, like this, the underground network is easy to use:
U1 = red
U2 = violet
U3 = orange
U4 = green
U6 = brown
The U-Bahn stations are easy to recognise by the blue signboard with the letter U on it. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Once you have validated your ticket, you can proceed towards the platforms.
In order to mark the destination, they always show the end destination of the line.
There are maps in the stations, like this you can check which platform to choose.
Above the platforms there are digital signboards, which announce the destination, the time, and the difference in time that the next train will arrive. Interesting information, indeed. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The secret to public transport in Vienna is to buy a travel pass, valid for use on the trams, buses and metro (Ubahn). The prices changed on 1 June 2007, as from then the price for a single trip ticket has become 2.2€, a “one day” pass is 5.7€, and a “one week” pass became 14€. A very quick calculation will tell you that it’s worthwhile getting the one day pass if you propose making more than two trips, and the one week pass for anything more than two days. You buy tickets from designated shops, we picked up ours from a tobacconist (ask at your hotel about the nearest outlet). NB, these tickets are for transport only, they are not the “Vienna Card” which is aimed at tourists and which has some discounts which may or may not represent value for you!
Watch out though for one little detail – the weekly tickets run from Monday to the following Sunday: get it wrong and you could be buying a weekly ticket viable for only one or two days!. The weekly tickets come with their validity dates printed on them, but the other tickets need to be validated before they become operative – this also is important! There are no difficult turnstiles as in the Paris metro, but in the metro you validate tickets with those blue boxes mounted on the red brackets (photo 2) Theme: Subway/Metro
