Getting around Vienna

Public Transport

Vienna has an efficient public transport system.

You can purchase tickets at the ticket machines in Vienna or online.

The 72-hour Vienna ticket (€17.10) is an economical way of getting around Vienna.

For those who plan to do some sightseeing while they are in Vienna, the Vienna Card (€29.00) might be the right choice. It is also valid for 72 hours and entitles you to reduced rates when visiting museums and exhibitions, etc. You can buy the Vienna Card at the airport, in most hotels or order it online.

By Bike / On Foot

Vienna has an extensive network of cycle paths. Then again, it is especially beautiful when explored on foot.

In addition to various bike rental companies, there are also city bike stations located throughout the city. For more information on the city bikes click here.

As most of the sights in Vienna are close to the venue in the city centre, it is also a great idea to explore the city on foot.

By Car

Parking is very restricted in Vienna, in particular in the vicinity of the venue. You have to use pre-paid tickets called "Parkschein", which exist in five colours:

•    purple = 15 min., free (your are only allowed to use this parking ticket once)
•    red = ½ hour, €1.05
•    blue = 1 hour, €2.10
•    green = 1½ hours, €3.15
•    yellow = 2 hours, €4.20

These tickets can be purchased at any newspaper kiosk ("Trafik"). The one closest to the venue is located at Alser Straße 6. Parking with these tickets is limited to a maximum of 2 hours. These parking tickets are only available in German.

If you want to park for longer, you have to use a car park. The closest one is the "WIPARK Votivpark-Garage" in Universitätsstraße (open 24 hours, €4.30 an hour).

The most inexpensive way to park in Vienna would be to use the park & ride stations for €3.60 a day (it is recommended to get there by 6:00 am to get a parking space). For more information on parking in Vienna click here.
