Transport from Airport
The Vienna International Airport (Schwechat) is located at about 20km from central Vienna. The city centre is easily reached by train or by bus.
Train (S-Bahn)
The cheapest way from Airport Schwechat to central Vienna is to take the S7 train to the station “Wien Mitte” (EUR 4). A two-zone ticket is necessary (valid for transport in Vienna by underground/tram till your final destination). The trains leave half-hourly, taking 25 minutes. Timetable, map and tickets can be obtained at the information counter in the Arrivals hall (after the leaving customs control). Tickets can also be purchased from the machines located at the train station stops (Euro change required)
Train (CAT=City Airport Train)
Alternatively to the S-Bahn, there is a non-stop train (CAT), running also half-hourly (EUR 11 one-way, EUR 17 return), taking 16 minutes to “Wien Mitte” (this is not valid till your final destination. Another ticket for the underground/tram will have to be purchased once in Vienna). Timetable, map and tickets can be obtained at the information counter in the Arrivals hall (after the leaving customs control). Tickets can also be purchased from the machines located at the train station stops (Euro change required)
Bus (Airport Bus)
The airport bus station is in front of the arrivals hall of the Vienna International Airport. You can take the bus either to Westbahnhof, Wien-Meidling or Schwedenplaz.

A Ticket for the underground/tram will have to be purchased in addition.
