Getting around Vienna

Transportation in Vienna

CAT Train

With the CAT City Airport Train, Vienna offers a rapid connection between the city centre and the airport on a par with international standards. In only 16 minutes, the City Airport Train takes you nonstop from the airport to Vienna city centre and vice versa – without stress and traffic jams and in an environmentally friendly way.

Operating hours

The Vienna Transport Authority operates nearly 20 hours per day. The underground trains (U-Bahn) run from about 5:00 AM to about midnight.
Trams and buses normally stop running earlier.

Safely through the night

Vienna’s subway lines operate 24 hours a day on Friday night, Saturday night and on the nights before holidays. The trains run at 15-minute intervals.
The night buses operate daily from 12:30 AM to 5:00 AM in 30-minute cycles. Please check the website of the Vienna Transport Authority for the schedules of the Nightline
You can use the night buses as well as the rapid transit railway within the Vienna metropolitan area with all tickets of Wiener Linien and, of course, with the Vienna City Card.

Taxis:
Taxis are a faster and more comfortable way to get around town than public transport. Bolt is a ride-hailing app that allows you to order a ride using your smartphone.
