POSSIBILITY 1
BY TRAIN

ÖBB even offers two options for travelling by train from the airport to the city or from Vienna to the airport.

You can take the S7 express train to Wien Mitte (also known as “Wien Landstraße”) or Wien Praterstern or the Railjet to Wien Hauptbahnhof or Wien Meidling. At all four stations, you have the option of changing to the underground subway lines.

The ÖBB ticket counters and ticket machines are located directly in the arrivals’ hall of the airport and just before the platforms.
The prices for the S7 and the Railjet are the same.

As the stop “Flughafen Wien Schwechat” (ATTENTION: do not confuse with “Schwechat”) is outside the core zone, you need 2 zone tickets.

The price:
EUR 4.20 for adults (EUR 1.80 for the ticket from the airport to the Vienna city limits + EUR 2.40 for the journey in Vienna’s core zone)
Half price for children aged 6 to 14 inclusive
Free for children under 6 years

Holders of the Vienna City Card only need the additional €1.80 ticket from the airport to the Vienna city limits.

The journey time:
approx. 25 minutes with the S7
15 minutes with the Railjet
Both usually run at 30-minute intervals. You can find all journey times for the S7 and the Railjet here.

The Stops:
The Railjet travels directly to “Vienna Central Station” without a stopover, where you can change to the underground line U1 (red). The station after Vienna Central Station is “Wien Meidling”, where you can change to the underground line U6 (brown).
