Vienna International Airport (VIE) is located in Schwechat, about 20 km south-east of Vienna's center. At the airport, you can take two railway lines: - Cheap, but slow - railway line S7 (direction Floridsdorf) to the station Wien Mitte, or - expensive and 8 minutes faster - the City Airport Train also takes you to the station Wien Mitte. At Wien Mitte, take Underground U3, direction Ottakring, 2 stops to Stephansplatz. Alternatively, at the airport you may also take the shuttle bus (Vienna Airport Lines) to Schwedenplatz. From there take Underground U1 (one Station) or enjoy a 5 minutes walk.
Vienna has two main train stations, Westbahnhof and
Südbahnhof.
At Westbahnhof: Enter the Underground station Westbahnhof and take Underground U3,
direction Erdberg, 5 stops to Stephansplatz
At Südbahnhof: Leave the platform at its rear end and walk to the nearby Underground
station Südtiroler Platz (near the bus stops). From Südtiroler Platz, take
Underground U1, direction Kagran, 3 stops to Stephansplatz.
If you travel by car, the easiest and cheapest way is
to park your car somewhere near one of the Underground or railway stations at the
periphery (make sure you remember where), and use public transport further on.
There are several possibilities for parking in underground car parks in the first district.
Please note that parking in the streets in central Vienna during daytime is restricted
to residents with a special permit or short periods (you will need a ticket called a
"Kurzparkschein" for this). Parking tickets are available at tobacconists ("Trafik").
