Thank you so much, that's how tourist guides shall be done, nicely explained step by step, I found it so helpful that feel no longer puzzled about how to take my transport to Vienna. Great job ;)
Hi Greta, thanks for the information!!! I will be going to Vienna next Saturday 20/04. Once I arrive at the airport, I’ll go to Vienna centre and so I’ll buy from a ticket machine OBB two tickets, one additional ticket for the borders of Vienna and one for 48 hours. Do I need to validate the 48 hours ticket or not? If yes, can I validate it at the airport station? Please let me know, thanks!!
If you take the train to Meidling, you have to buy your ticket at one of the machines. Just select the destination you want, and it will calculate the correct amount for your ticket. So yes, it can be done with one ticket that includes the fare for the whole ride. Just make sure that the price for the ride within Vienna is included, but this should be the standard setting.
Hi Grete thanks so much your info is so helpful. What I am struggling with after having downloaded the OBB app, created account without adding my payment details (I am still in south africa, not in Austria yet) ...I now want to book my ticket between Vienna and Munich... and the app won't let me edit to add my payment method now... it says I can only do this when booking a later ticket😢.I need this booked in advance to get a visa to travel to your beautiful country. Hopefully you could help me ... have already tried deleting my account etc and calling the OBB but they direct me to the website.😢 regards Sheena
Well, I didn't understand. If I need VAL2, when leaving airport on the board there is no any information about where bus goes, VAL1, VAl2, VAL3. So how understand that?
The video was made in 2020, when services where limited and some of them suspended. That's why the display in the video only shows the connections that were in operation at that time. As of today, all three bus lines VAL 1, VAL 2, and VAL 3 are back in service. Consequently the display will now show the upcoming connections and their departure times. You can also check the timetable for these buses before your arrival on the website www.viennaairportlines.at/.
@@gretetheaustrianguide omg, many many thanks for replying. I searched everywhere, on other TH-cam videos, in the internet, but couldn't find the answer! Now I will not stress until the trip :) if I don't bother you, just one more question, I found that on the site of Vienna Airport Lines is possible to buy a ticket in advance, but when clicking "buy tickets" it redirects to the other site of Postbus. So does it mean, that if I buy the tickets in advance, at the board I'll need to check where the Postbus stops? Not VAL2? And how to find the station of this bus for return from Vienna old town? Thank you :)
Hi, I need to go from Vienna airport to St.Marx station and I am unsure whether to go by OBB or Schnellbahn S7. Are tickets purchased from the same machine or from different machines? I appreciate if you can guide me.
Yes - I always buy my ticket in the ÖBB app. If you purchase it there, it generates a QR Code. If the conducter wants to see the ticket you just show this code. No need to print the ticket. Just keep in mind, that you cannot switch phone. The QR Code will only be produced on the phone, where you purchased the ticket (no idea why though). BTW: If you visit Vienna, check out my other channel. Its in German but the videos have english subtitles :) th-cam.com/users/GreteWalz
@@VitaminVS same in Vienna :) If you are in Innsbruck don't miss out the Hofburg and Schloss Ambras! And maybe you have the chance go above the clouds when you go up the mountains (Nordkette). Enjoy your time!
This took so much stress out of me as I will be travelling alone abroad for the first time and I have to switch at least 3 stops! Thank you for the detailed information!
hola siento hablarte en español. En varios dias voy a Viena . Me podrías indicar como llegar desde el centro de Viena o desde el distrito 2 zona hotel meininger downton Sisi al aeropuerto de viena en OBB , o desde la estación Central (wien Mitte), estoy un poco confundida , muchas gracias.
Awesome video! In July I will go from Vienna Airport with OBB Railjet to Linz. Do I need to buy tickets online early in advance or I can buy OBB Railjet ticket when I arrive at the airport? Will the OBB Railjet ticket price be more expensive in July when I arrive at the airport? Also how do I validate OBB Railjet tickets? Before I enter the train or the conductor will validate the ticket in the train? Thanks!
Hi Grete, I'm visiting Vienna this month and have accommodation in Arcotel Kaiserwasser Wien hotel. Can you guide me which train should I use to reach the hotel. I'll appreciate your prompt response. Thanks
It would be helpful to highlight the further price advantage of S7/ÖBB over the CAT in that the ticket allows further connections within the Vienna zone on metro, tram and bus. For CAT you would need an additional ticket.
So if I get the OBB train from the airport to the central railway station(for example) for 4.20 euro I can then take bus or metro with the same ticket?
@@М.М-х7ю Yes, if you stay within the city zone. The ticket has a time limit (I think 90 minutes). You can select your destination from the ÖBB ticket machine at the airport if you want to be absolutely sure about the price and validity.
@@М.М-х7ю Yes (albeit the price has increased to 4.40€ by now). A single ticket for two zones (Airport-Schwechat is the outer tariff zone, from Schwechat everything is the Vienna city zone) is valid for one trip in one direction, including changes (but not going backwards or in circles). You can even mix a single-trip (to get into the city) and eg. 24-hour ticket (within the city); there should be options on the ticket machines if I remember correctly. (Else: just get single ticket to "Schwechat" and an eg. 24h for the city zone.)
Sorry, I did not understand. In the screen at 1:32 I do not see VAN 1, 2 or 3; nor a line going to Schwedenplatz but other destination not mentioned in the video. If I want to go to Schwedenplatz, which one is the correct?
thx for the video we are family with 7 9 years kids at sunday we need to go to handelskai to breitensee will we buy tickets for the kids i plan to buy 72 hours tickests but i am confused
Be careful when buying a ticket for the Schnellbahn S7. I went to Vienna last week. I ticked the senior ticket as I am 66. I was told by a ticket inspector that I had the wrong ticket. I apparently should have had a Vorteilscard. Which I wouldn't have known about as it was my first visit to Vienna. I got fined 105 euros. The inspector wasn't interested that it was accidental. The only place I saw an inspector was on the journey to Vienna and at the end of my holiday back to the airport. I feel there is an element of catching the tourist here. On the way back to the airport there were 3 German speaking guys who had the wrong ticket. The inspector didn't fine them but told them to get off at the next station. Be warned. Lovely city though!
Thank you for this helpful addition to the video! Discounts can indeed be tricky to navigate. There is more information on the ÖBB website about the discounts they offer (Information in English): www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten
Hey Greta, was für ein Ticket empfiehlst du bei Ankunft spät abends am Airport, Ziel City, nächsten Tag ÖPNV in der ganzen Stadt und am gleichen Tag abends wieder zurück zum Airport? Ich würde zwei einzelne Öbb Tickets kaufen , ein 24 Std Ticket der Wiener Linien. Oder gibt es eine günstigere Lösung? Danke im Voraus 🥹
I am going to vienna airport tomorrow and want to go to Praterstern! S7 and I just stay on two more stops after main station? Do I pay at beginning to Prater or is it same price as just going to main station?
Hello, thank you very much for your explanations. I want to go to Westbahnhoff. How can I get there if I use S Bahn? Airport --> Wien Mitte --> ? --> Westbahnhoff and which transfer should I use? Thank you,
Excluded are airport buses, the Westbahn, and the City Airport Train (CAT). Within Vienna you can use all lines, such as buses, trams, underground (U-Bahn), Badner Bahn, ÖBB trains, and most regional bus lines. But take care: If you cross the city boarder you will have to pay extra for these lines (eg ÖBB & S7).
If you have purchased a ticket for Vienna, you will need to supplement it with a ticket for the route from the city limits to the airport. You can do this at one of the ÖBB ticket machines. You can select the option indicating that you already have a ticket for Vienna, which will make the total price cheaper.
Hi, very good and well explained video. One question, on top of the 4,20 train ticket to Vienna center. Do we also need to buy/pay 1.90 for the city boarder? Thank you
The ticket will include the whole distance from Vienna Airport to your destination in the city. However, you will need an extra ticket, for Vienna, if you plan to do more trips in Vienna on that day.
Hello! Thank you very much for the information, i’m 17 years old and I’ll be flying at the end of march to Vienna solo and I would also like you to suggest me some places I can find stalls that sell cheap souvenirs like fridge magnets ☺️🇦🇹
You are probably looking for a weekly ticket for Vienna. Please watch my video about the public transport in Vienna. This should clear up your question th-cam.com/video/VsbXWhkkJqc/w-d-xo.html
If you have purchased a ticket for Vienna, you will need to supplement it with a ticket for the route from the city limits to the airport. You can do this at one of the ÖBB ticket machines. You can select the option indicating that you already have a ticket for Vienna, which will make the total price cheaper.
You can buy your ticket on board on long-distance trains directly from the train attendant, but it will be more expensive. However keep in mind, that the S7 does not qualify as long distance train and therefore you need to purchase your ticket in advance.
Hi. Is there one app that you recommend for me to use for all transportation for the three weeks that i plan to stay or do you think ill have to use multiple apps? Thanks!
Hi! If you only stay in Vienna, I can recommend the Wien Mobil App. In this app you can search for transportation and you can also purchase tickets for the public transport in Vienna. I also made a Video about this App. th-cam.com/video/DsUQeHBFtCA/w-d-xo.html Alternatively you could use Google Maps. Google Maps is also a good option, if you plan to travel outside of Vienna. Enjoy your time in Vienna!
Yes, you'll need to pay extra. The 72-hour ticket is only valid within Vienna, and the airport is outside the city limits. For a detailed explanation, please watch my video on how to get from Vienna Airport to the city center th-cam.com/video/qjq2Tb5xSSY/w-d-xo.html
There is no Metro connecting Vienna Airport and the City center. Just the connections mentioned in the Video. Also a Ticket for the Metro in Vienna costs 2,40 EUR. If you use the train (one adult one way) it costs 4,30 EUR as of today. However there are reduced tickets available eg. for students, elderly people or if you already have a ticket for public transport in Vienna. I would be very interested, which connection exactly you took for 1,80 EUR, since this would be very helpful for people visiting Vienna as well as myself ;) Maybe you can elaborate on that?
Great step by step video. Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to do it and I hope that there aren't major changes for the last two years.
Depends on how you buy the ticket. But generally speaking: If you buy it at an ÖBB vending machine, where you select the exact date and time and connection, it will be valid for this exact connection, and you don't have to validate the ticket anymore. But there are tickets that need validation. You will find the validating machines before accessing the train platform.
I am arriving in a few days and have been looking up how to get to the city centre and saw there were several options and I was struggling to find which one was best for me! (And decently priced) The overview you added in your video was also very helpful. Appreciate you making this video. Thank you very much 😊
If you have a day pass of Wiener Linien you travel to or from the airport you have to buy a separate ticket. However, if you go by ÖBB train or S7, you can select, that you already have ticket for Vienna and the train ticket will get cheaper.
@@gretetheaustrianguideAnd how to mark it? I'm looking in the application but there is no such option. Is it enough to just buy a single ticket for e.g. 72 hours for PLN 2.40?
If we are a group of 4 people, isn't the price of a taxi about the same as a train, and it goes straight to hotel instead for switching to and paying for Ubahn, plus walking? Thanks!
PS Now I see the Flixbus has a station just near our hotel (station called VIB Erdberg) so thought best option, but their site says no trips that day? Is that a mistake? ? Thanks
Most airport transfers by car start from around 35 EUR. -But only if you order this service in advance. Taxi will be charged by time and distance and might be even more expensive. But of course it might be worth the comfort :)
Hi! Thank you for such a useful video! I have a question, is it necessary to register or somehow check in an ÖBB ticket directly on the train, or do you just buy it in one of those vending machines and you're good to go?
Hi there! You can book the ticket online in advance for the öbb train. But it is not necessary. And honestly I would not recommend it, since sometimes the planes are delayed or it takes longer to pick up the luggage. -So it could happen that you miss the train you booked the ticket for. I would just buy the tickets at the vending machines and take the next train :) If you plan to go to Vienna you can also check out the Videos on my other channel. Its German but most videos (expecially the newer ones) have English subtitles! Channel name: is "Grete Walz" th-cam.com/users/gretewalz
Hi, thanks for the very nice and informative video. I have one thing that is unclear: if I buy a weekly ticket, which costs €17.10, which additional tickets do I need to buy in order to travel from Vienna Airport to the city center, and vice versa, on the first and last days of my weekly pass and how?
The weekly ticket will only be valid for the city of Vienna.The airport is a little bit outside of Vienna, so you have to buy a ticket for this part of the connection. As mentioned in the video, you can go by bus, ÖBB train or CAT train. You have to buy these tickets separately from the weekly ticket.
@@gretetheaustrianguideHi again, so just to be sure, I have to buy a single ticket of €4.20 apart from my weekly ticket if I travel by S7. And I can buy that in WeinMobil app. Thanks.
hello, I'm Toto from Indonesia. I really like this video, very helpful for people who are going to vienna. I have subscribed to your channel. In April I will ask you a lot of questions about transportation in Vienna. Don't ever feel bored if I ask later. thank you
Yes and no.. the SBahn (S7) and the ÖBB trains are mostly included. You just need to buy an additional ticket, costs 2,10 € for the first two stops from the Airport to the station Schwechat, as this part of the route is not included in the Vienna tickets. Also mind that the prices today are slightly more expensive than they were back then.
We are leaving Vienna today. One thing I feel is left out of most of these videos is the S7 line as an add-on to any ‘all access’ tickets you may have bought. I believe if you have any 24hr + pass you can get an add on for just 2 euros one way! But you have to get it from the OBB app or machine or counter. You can’t buy even the full 4.80 S7 ticket from the WienMobil app. And the airport transfer add on the city card is way more. I had to have some help to figure out the add on/discount in the OBB app, I wouldn’t take the chance of picking the wrong discount - the OBB app is more confusing to use than the WienMobil app for tourists. But if you want the cheapest way and have already bought some kind of transport pass within Vienna I was told with the machines it is easier to use because in the right hand corner as you are purchasing your ticket there is a choice for ‘city limit’ of some kind and that will give you the correct discount.
@@gretetheaustrianguide well - it’s probably more complicated than most people want to attempt 😁. We just ubered from the airport since there were 4 of us. It’s not too expensive compared to many other cities in Europe when it is divided between more than 2 people.
Thank you for the tip🙏 I am going to Vienna next month for 6 days and I am planning to buy the 7 days card and have already the ÖBB app. I hope it won’t be confusing and hard to use and pay for the tickets with Apple Pay
You are assuming one wants to go to central Vienna from the airport. What if you want to take the S7 the OTHER way, toward Fischamend and Wolfstahl? Can you buy such a ticket from the machine? And is it the red machine from which you buy the S7 ticket? And where exactly in the airport is the train station located? Is it near Terminal 3, or which terminal is it close to? Is there GOOD online map of the airport that shows where the train station is? This video answers some questions, but leaves many other un-answered.
Thank you for the helpful video. If you take the S7 or the OBB and need to take a ubahn to the final desitnation will you need to pay again for the ubahn ticket? Thanks.
Excellent, Grete! My family/I will visit Vienna 4/9/23 - 4/15/23 and we will stay with Hotel Am Schubertring located at Schubertring 11, 1010 Wien, Austria. Based on what I saw from your video, it seems that we can buy tickets to take S7 from the airport to Wien Mitte and walk for about 14 minutes to the hotel. May you kindly advise if this scenario would be effective? Many thanks!
Thank you Grete, this is very informative video about how to get into town from Vienna airport. As one of the comment says, this is a great example of how the travel video should be. Keep up the great work and I hope you get lots of subscribers.
If I want to travel to Prague directly from Vienna international airport , May i know what is the best way ? my flight is to Vienna but my tour begins at Prague. Can you help me please
Would getting a S-bahn RETURN ticket to the city allow me to travel wherever by bus/train when I arrive in the city, instead of buying another ticket once there?
Thanx for the video! A quick question though: if you want to get to the city center with the bus, which is Line2, why is it not displayed on the monitor outside the airport? Is there something we're missing?
Hi! Due tu the pandemic, some of the lines had been suspended. According to the website of Vienne Airport Lines, all lines will operate again starting today (23.3.2022). For further information, please check the website of Vienna Airport Lines. Have a great time in Vienna :)

Thanks, this is very helpful! Which trains are valid with a three day transport ticket? I assume the CAT is not valid, but what about OBB and S7?
Excluded are airport buses, the Westbahn, and the City Airport Train (CAT). Within Vienna you can use all lines, such as buses, trams, underground (U-Bahn), Badner Bahn, ÖBB trains, and most regional bus lines. But take care: If you cross the city boarder you will have to pay extra for these lines (eg ÖBB & S7).
If I buy 7 day Vienna public trans card then should I buy train ticket from airport to city limit only(few stops)?
If you have purchased a ticket for Vienna, you will need to supplement it with a ticket for the route from the city limits to the airport. You can do this at one of the ÖBB ticket machines. You can select the option indicating that you already have a ticket for Vienna, which will make the total price cheaper.
Hi, very good and well explained video. One question, on top of the 4,20 train ticket to Vienna center. Do we also need to buy/pay 1.90 for the city boarder? Thank you
The ticket will include the whole distance from Vienna Airport to your destination in the city. However, you will need an extra ticket, for Vienna, if you plan to do more trips in Vienna on that day.
Hello! Thank you very much for the information, i’m 17 years old and I’ll be flying at the end of march to Vienna solo and I would also like you to suggest me some places I can find stalls that sell cheap souvenirs like fridge magnets ☺️🇦🇹
May i ask a question? Obb and s7 same prize bur different tickets? İf i prefer to but weekly tickets which one should i buy?
You are probably looking for a weekly ticket for Vienna. Please watch my video about the public transport in Vienna. This should clear up your question th-cam.com/video/VsbXWhkkJqc/w-d-xo.html
If I get the Wienmobil online public transport ticket for 7 days, does this include the S7 from the airport to Vienna center too or is this separate?

I'm wondering if it's possible to pay on board...
You can buy your ticket on board on long-distance trains directly from the train attendant, but it will be more expensive. However keep in mind, that the S7 does not qualify as long distance train and therefore you need to purchase your ticket in advance.
Hi. Is there one app that you recommend for me to use for all transportation for the three weeks that i plan to stay or do you think ill have to use multiple apps? Thanks!
Hi! If you only stay in Vienna, I can recommend the Wien Mobil App. In this app you can search for transportation and you can also purchase tickets for the public transport in Vienna. I also made a Video about this App. th-cam.com/video/DsUQeHBFtCA/w-d-xo.html Alternatively you could use Google Maps. Google Maps is also a good option, if you plan to travel outside of Vienna. Enjoy your time in Vienna!
God morning, if I have a 72 hour card do I have to pay more to get from the airport to the city ? Thank you
Yes, you'll need to pay extra. The 72-hour ticket is only valid within Vienna, and the airport is outside the city limits. For a detailed explanation, please watch my video on how to get from Vienna Airport to the city center th-cam.com/video/qjq2Tb5xSSY/w-d-xo.html
Can one buy a bus ticket in cash?
Where can we get Uber taxi from?
wow ... extremely helpful. really helps people specially non europeans
uou are recommanding to pay more!!!
Hey guys go to metro station from airport to center for 1,80€
There is no Metro connecting Vienna Airport and the City center. Just the connections mentioned in the Video. Also a Ticket for the Metro in Vienna costs 2,40 EUR. If you use the train (one adult one way) it costs 4,30 EUR as of today. However there are reduced tickets available eg. for students, elderly people or if you already have a ticket for public transport in Vienna.
I would be very interested, which connection exactly you took for 1,80 EUR, since this would be very helpful for people visiting Vienna as well as myself ;) Maybe you can elaborate on that?
Great step by step video. Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to do it and I hope that there aren't major changes for the last two years.
Do I need to validate the train ticket? If so where do I find the validating machine?
Depends on how you buy the ticket. But generally speaking: If you buy it at an ÖBB vending machine, where you select the exact date and time and connection, it will be valid for this exact connection, and you don't have to validate the ticket anymore. But there are tickets that need validation. You will find the validating machines before accessing the train platform.
I am arriving in a few days and have been looking up how to get to the city centre and saw there were several options and I was struggling to find which one was best for me! (And decently priced) The overview you added in your video was also very helpful. Appreciate you making this video. Thank you very much 😊
Happy to hear that! Have a great time in Vienna :)
@@gretetheaustrianguideThank you, looking forward to visiting and exploring
Hallo Grete. Can I buy the S7 ticket on the OBB app...and will it stop at Sanckt Marx? Danke.
Yes you can buy the ticket via app and the S7 train will stop in St. Marx.
@@gretetheaustrianguide Vielen dank Grete.
hello if i buy tickets for salzburg is better to buy them a few days before?
Yes - buy your tickets well in advance to get the best price!
Hi, Is the line to Schwedenplatz open in 2023?
Yes, all lines of the Vienna Airport Lines are in service again.
thank you so much from saudia arabia
Does the Day pass cover the S7 schnell bahn ticket?
If you have a day pass of Wiener Linien you travel to or from the airport you have to buy a separate ticket. However, if you go by ÖBB train or S7, you can select, that you already have ticket for Vienna and the train ticket will get cheaper.
@@gretetheaustrianguideAnd how to mark it? I'm looking in the application but there is no such option. Is it enough to just buy a single ticket for e.g. 72 hours for PLN 2.40?
Do the vending machines accept cash or just coins? 😅
You can pay cash or with debit / or credit card. If you pay cash, you can use Euro bills as well as coins.
great video! thank you so much!
If we are a group of 4 people, isn't the price of a taxi about the same as a train, and it goes straight to hotel instead for switching to and paying for Ubahn, plus walking? Thanks!
PS Now I see the Flixbus has a station just near our hotel (station called VIB Erdberg) so thought best option, but their site says no trips that day? Is that a mistake? ? Thanks
Most airport transfers by car start from around 35 EUR. -But only if you order this service in advance. Taxi will be charged by time and distance and might be even more expensive. But of course it might be worth the comfort :)
Hi! Thank you for such a useful video! I have a question, is it necessary to register or somehow check in an ÖBB ticket directly on the train, or do you just buy it in one of those vending machines and you're good to go?
Hi there! You can book the ticket online in advance for the öbb train. But it is not necessary. And honestly I would not recommend it, since sometimes the planes are delayed or it takes longer to pick up the luggage. -So it could happen that you miss the train you booked the ticket for. I would just buy the tickets at the vending machines and take the next train :) If you plan to go to Vienna you can also check out the Videos on my other channel. Its German but most videos (expecially the newer ones) have English subtitles! Channel name: is "Grete Walz" th-cam.com/users/gretewalz
Hi, thanks for the very nice and informative video. I have one thing that is unclear: if I buy a weekly ticket, which costs €17.10, which additional tickets do I need to buy in order to travel from Vienna Airport to the city center, and vice versa, on the first and last days of my weekly pass and how?
The weekly ticket will only be valid for the city of Vienna.The airport is a little bit outside of Vienna, so you have to buy a ticket for this part of the connection. As mentioned in the video, you can go by bus, ÖBB train or CAT train. You have to buy these tickets separately from the weekly ticket.
@@gretetheaustrianguide Thank you very much for the information.
@@gretetheaustrianguideHi again, so just to be sure, I have to buy a single ticket of €4.20 apart from my weekly ticket if I travel by S7. And I can buy that in WeinMobil app. Thanks.
hello, I'm Toto from Indonesia.
I really like this video, very helpful for people who are going to vienna.
I have subscribed to your channel.
In April I will ask you a lot of questions about transportation in Vienna.
Don't ever feel bored if I ask later.
thank you
Hello, are any of the airport public transport tickets included in day/weekly tickets?
Yes and no.. the SBahn (S7) and the ÖBB trains are mostly included. You just need to buy an additional ticket, costs 2,10 € for the first two stops from the Airport to the station Schwechat, as this part of the route is not included in the Vienna tickets. Also mind that the prices today are slightly more expensive than they were back then.
Thanks for the response. Couldn't have said it better myself :)
Thank you!
We are leaving Vienna today. One thing I feel is left out of most of these videos is the S7 line as an add-on to any ‘all access’ tickets you may have bought. I believe if you have any 24hr + pass you can get an add on for just 2 euros one way! But you have to get it from the OBB app or machine or counter. You can’t buy even the full 4.80 S7 ticket from the WienMobil app. And the airport transfer add on the city card is way more. I had to have some help to figure out the add on/discount in the OBB app, I wouldn’t take the chance of picking the wrong discount - the OBB app is more confusing to use than the WienMobil app for tourists. But if you want the cheapest way and have already bought some kind of transport pass within Vienna I was told with the machines it is easier to use because in the right hand corner as you are purchasing your ticket there is a choice for ‘city limit’ of some kind and that will give you the correct discount.
Thank you for this very helpful addition!
@@gretetheaustrianguide well - it’s probably more complicated than most people want to attempt 😁. We just ubered from the airport since there were 4 of us. It’s not too expensive compared to many other cities in Europe when it is divided between more than 2 people.
Thank you for the tip🙏 I am going to Vienna next month for 6 days and I am planning to buy the 7 days card and have already the ÖBB app. I hope it won’t be confusing and hard to use and pay for the tickets with Apple Pay
You are assuming one wants to go to central Vienna from the airport. What if you want to take the S7 the OTHER way, toward Fischamend and Wolfstahl? Can you buy such a ticket from the machine? And is it the red machine from which you buy the S7 ticket? And where exactly in the airport is the train station located? Is it near Terminal 3, or which terminal is it close to? Is there GOOD online map of the airport that shows where the train station is? This video answers some questions, but leaves many other un-answered.
Landing in Vienna for my travels, thank you SO MUCH for this helpful video!!
you are welcome!
Thank you for the helpful video. If you take the S7 or the OBB and need to take a ubahn to the final desitnation will you need to pay again for the ubahn ticket? Thanks.
Excellent, Grete! My family/I will visit Vienna 4/9/23 - 4/15/23 and we will stay with Hotel Am Schubertring located at Schubertring 11, 1010 Wien, Austria. Based on what I saw from your video, it seems that we can buy tickets to take S7 from the airport to Wien Mitte and walk for about 14 minutes to the hotel. May you kindly advise if this scenario would be effective? Many thanks!
Hello, can I get a ticket for the OBB train from the Airport to Breclav in the Czech Republic as a connection trip? Thank you for such a good video.
Thank you Grete, this is very informative video about how to get into town from Vienna airport. As one of the comment says, this is a great example of how the travel video should be. Keep up the great work and I hope you get lots of subscribers.
Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you Grete ❤️
If I want to travel to Prague directly from Vienna international airport , May i know what is the best way ? my flight is to Vienna but my tour begins at Prague. Can you help me please
Hi..! Would you happen to know how much a taxi would charge from airport?
Thanks for the info. How would I get from Vienna airport to Pilgramgasse station?
Would getting a S-bahn RETURN ticket to the city allow me to travel wherever by bus/train when I arrive in the city, instead of buying another ticket once there?
Hello! We are planning to visit Vienna at 11/07/2022! Do you know if I can go to Praterstern station with the S7 Train?
Thanx for the video! A quick question though: if you want to get to the city center with the bus, which is Line2, why is it not displayed on the monitor outside the airport? Is there something we're missing?
Hi! Due tu the pandemic, some of the lines had been suspended. According to the website of Vienne Airport Lines, all lines will operate again starting today (23.3.2022). For further information, please check the website of Vienna Airport Lines. Have a great time in Vienna :)
@@gretetheaustrianguide Thank you so much Grete!!! We're really looking fwd to visiting Vienna! Greetings from Amarynthos, Greece!
