 | |  |  | Vienna Card & day tickets: Public Transport | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Vienna has a comprehensive and unified public transport network that is one of the most efficient in Europe, Flat-fare tickets are valid for trains, trams, buses, the underground (U-Bahn) and the S-Bahn regional trains. Services are frequent, and you will rarely have to wait more than five or 10 minutes. Public transport kicks off around 5am or 6am. Buses and trams finish between 11pm and midnight, and S-Bahn and U-Bahn services between 12.30am and 1am. Twenty-one Nightline bus routes crisscross the city from 12.30 am to 5am. Schwedenplatz, Schottentor, and the Oper are starting points for many services; look for buses and bus stops marked with an "N". All tickets are valid for Nightline services. Transport maps are posted in all U-Bahn stations and at many bus and tram stops. Free maps and information pamphlets are available from Wiener Linien, located in 25 U-Bahn stations. The Karlsplatz, Stephansplatz, and Westbahnhof information offices are open from 6.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. Those at Florisdorf, Spittelau, Praterstern, Philadelphiabrücke, Landstrasse, and Volkstheater are closed on weekends. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 0043 1 7909 105Website: www.wienerlinien.at

| | | | Vienna Card & day tickets: The Vienna Card | Tip Rating: | | | | |
As with most other European cities I visited, Vienna has a transportation card for tourists that allows for unlimited transport with entry discounts to most major attractions. For 16.90 Euro, you can travel for 72 hours on the city's U-Bahn, S-Bahn, bus, tram routes. There are disccounts at museums, theaters, concerts, restaurants and cafes. The card is available from most hotels and hostels, all Tourist Information Offices and standard information offices at Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, Westbahnhof and Landstrasse.

| | | | Vienna Card & day tickets: Austrian Airlines or U-Bahn | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
I arrived by Austrian Airlines from Moscow (also possible by Aeroflot), 2.5 hours flight, very precise schedule, landed exactly at 16:45! I suppose you can arrive by any major airline from most of the big cities. Train or car is also an option. Vienna has a very convenient metro system, or 'U-Bahn'. Also, buses or trams (Strassbahn). Loved it! You buy tickets either 1 ride (1.30 Euro, as far as I remember it is valid for 1 hour), or 24 hours, or 72 hours, they are valid for all kind of city transportation, including metro, Schnellbahn, buses and trams. Before entering the U-Bahn you must validate your ticket in a small blue automate that is found at the entrance. Same automates are installed in the buses and trams. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
