Easily reach Vienna's top hotels and attractions with smooth airport transfers. Book your stress-free ride to the city center and start exploring Vienna.
Helpful Tips
Buy the 24/48/72-hour Vienna City Card at any metro station for unlimited U-Bahn, tram and bus rides plus museum discounts.
Validate your paper ticket in the blue boxes before entering U-Bahn platforms or risk a €105 fine from plain-clothes ticket inspectors.
NightLine buses replace U-Bahn service after 00:30 on weekdays and 01:00 on weekends, running every 15 minutes on core routes.
Use the WienMobil app to buy tickets, plan trips and unlock nextbike rentals with the same account used for Wiener Linien services.
Common Scams to Avoid
At the airport taxi rank, some drivers switch to a high flat-rate instead of using the meter for trips into central Vienna. Insist on the meter or pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer through the official booking desk inside the terminal.
Unofficial 'porter' services may grab bags at baggage claim and then demand a large cash tip. Keep hold of your luggage and only use uniformed porters who display an airport ID badge.
Currency-exchange booths in the arrivals hall advertise 'no commission' but bury a poor exchange rate in the small print. Compare the offered rate against the mid-market rate shown on your phone or use an ATM inside the secure area for better value.
