 | Vienna by airplane to Vienna Reviews | Tips 11 - 20 of 64 |  |
The CAT is the fastest and one of the most convenient ways to get to the airport, but not really worth the money unless you are in a big hurry as the ride takes only 16 minutes. Once in the CAT station it is a pretty long walk to the check-in counters and the gates. The price is 9 EUR/person (if you buy online it is only 8 EUR) for a comfortable ride in a very nice, modern train. The regional trains run the same route as the CAT to the airport, but they make many more stops. The other benefit of the CAT, other then saving time, is that you can get your airline tickets and check your luggage at the station in downtown, rather than waiting in line at the airport.

VIE is linked to the world by many airlines (Austrian Airlines, Lauda Air, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, KLM, Iberia, SAS, ect.) and also offers good connections to Eastern Europe. And now a couple of low cost carriers connect Vienna to Germany (Air Berlin, Germanwings). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

A lot can be seen on foot, most major attractions.
The subway is very good, and so are the electric trams. These require payment in coins: as we didn't have any, the nice driver let us ride for free when I attempted to pay with bills, because we were tourists - but don't try to do that, be honest! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Flight to vienna, airport wien-schwechat
The airport is located 11 miles (18 km) southeast of the center of Vienna. There is a tourist information office in the arrivals hall.
TAXI
Taxis are available outside the arrivals area. The fare is metered and will be about 360 Austrian schillings ($28). Travel time to the center is about 20-30 minutes. BUS
A very good bus service goes from the airport terminal to the city air terminal right next to the Hilton Hotel (Stadtpark) and to Westbahnhof (West Rail Station) and Südbahnhof (South Rail Station). From those stops it is a short taxi ride to most destinations in the city. If you are staying in a city center hotel, like the Marriott (walkable with light luggage), you would go to the city air terminal and take a taxi to your final destination.
Buses run from 6 A.M. to midnight with departures every 20 minutes from 7:30 A.M. to 11 P.M. The fare is about 70 Austrian schillings ($6) and you pay the driver when you board. This is a very convenient way to the city, almost as fast as the taxi, but a fraction of the cost.
TRAIN
A train runs between the airport and Vienna from about 5 A.M. to about 10:30 P.M. and costs 38 Austrian schillings ($3).
RENTAL CAR
Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar/Interrent, and some local firms have counters in the airport. Remember, however, if you are just going to central Vienna, or to places like Graz, or Linz, a car really is not necessary. Central Vienna is compact with good transportation (such as the trams). The train system is extensive, with fast, frequent service to cities such as Graz, or Linz, and all of Austria. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
