Airport shuttle
Vienna International Airport is about 19 kilometers from the city centre. A bit too far to trudge with you luggage.
It's a better idea to take the express bus to or from the City Air Terminal (Wien Mitte/Landstraúe). It costs ATS 70 and departs every half an hour. There is an hourly bus service from the South and West Stations (SÝd- and Westbahnhof) as well.
The cheapest way to reach the city is by train: buy a ticket for one zone and take the Schnellbahn (rapid transit) to the centre. This takes about 30 minutes longer than the journey by express bus.
