My favorite way to get around Vienna is on the U-Bahn. Last year, I rented an apartment in Herminengasse. The nearest subway station was Schottenring and was only half a block away. Second favorite way of getting around was walking. From that same apartment, the Billa supermarket was a five minute walk. I LOVE Vienna.
Hello Brother Sascha, A great informative video and a channel.I have few question regarding transport for my 4 day stay in Vienna.Please reply at your convenience. 1. I would like to Visit Mumok museum ,The Hofburg and The Michaelerplatz from Prizotel Wien city.Which transport should I avail?tram or anything else? 2.If tram is the option then what would be the procedure to buy ticket for tram? and How do I know which tram will go to my destination?(I can not just drivers from tram to tram😂,right?) please walk me through the whole process🙏🏼
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻 so in generell there is only one Zone and it works in the whole city! But for those Places you don’t really need a tram or any other transportation! Just walk it is not that far 😉 From your hotel go to u1 Hauptbahnhof/Südtirolerplatz and from there it is only a couple of stations to Stephansplatz! Leave the metro there and walk from there! You will find everything 👍🏻 the first district is very walkable! Enjoy your time and if you have more questions let us know! Kind regards, Seb 😉
Does the CAT have benefits other than travel time that might for some make it worth the extra 10 EUR cost? For example, are the seats more comfortable, is there more room for large luggage, or is it less crowded on average?
Great videos, thank you for all the information and tips!! I am planning a trip to Vienna in March. I want to ask you what is the best way to transport from Vienna to another city or village. Should I rent a car or use the train? A video for other popular destinations like Hallstatt will be really helpful. Keep up the good work!
Depends on where you want to go. Larger cities and even many regional destinations are all easily reachable by train. A day trip to Salzburg, Linz, Eisenstadt or Graz is very easy by train (maximum about 2h30 travel time one way), Innsbruck and Klagenfurt are about 4h-4h30 by train, so that may be a bit tight for a day trip. Renting a car is a good option, if you also want to explore "off the beaten track". Since you mentioned Hallstatt: this is generally doable using public transport; there is a train station at the other side of the lake with a boat service directly from there, as well as regional buses. But please note that it's about a 3h30 to 4h30 trip (one way) from Vienna. Going by car is about the same time (if not even longer, depending on traffic). Many tourists who plan to visit Hallstatt seem to underestimate this! If you leave Vienna in the morning you will basically arrive during "tourist rushhour" in Hallstatt, so if you really want to explore the area (the town itself, the ice cave, ...) getting accommodation locally and staying over night may be the preferable option.
Hi, Firstly you make great traveler friendly content, especially sharing the cost effective transport methods is very thoughtful of you. I am Vegan Solo Traveler, shall be reaching Vienna in a week, its a 7 day trip, do you recommend the Vienna Pass ? Should I get just the Vienna pass or Vienna pass + City pass combination ? Are all the Key attractions open for tourists in November? Also, what time can one attend the walking tour of the Vienna State Opera? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks and Regards.
First of all we wish you a great time in Vienna 😎 The Vienna Pass is only a great offer, if you plan to visit a lot of attractions. The 6day pass is 170€ at the moment, which means that you need to visit around 15-17 attractions to save money 😁 There's a new Wiener Linien 7day transportation pass which is 17,10€, I would recommend you to buy is as well 😎 the connection to the Airport is not included tho. The Opera walkingtour is included in the Vienna Pass aswell, and they happen to be every day, mostly 2-3 times, you will find the schedule on this website 😁 www.wiener-staatsoper.at/en/staatsoper/guided-tours/
Sascha, great video.. i will be in Vienna Dec for a week, should i buy the ticket immediately once touch down at the airport? Whats your advice and what kind of tickets? Is it advisable to buy 72hrs ? Is there a week tickets which much cheaper? This tickets can be use all kind transportation? Thanks so much 😊❤
So if you're in Vienna for a week, I would recommend you to buy a 7 days Ticket - it is 17,10€ and is as expensive as the 72h ticket 😁 You can use this ticket for all kinds of Subway, S-Bahn, Bus, Tram except CAT, Westbahn and tourism offers. I would recommend you to buy your ticket online in advance, you can do it either in the Wien Mobil app or online on the wiener linien homepage 😎 you're welcome!
If you buy a 7 day ticket online, you will be asked for the date you want your ticket to start 😁 so you can buy it in advance. You don't need to validate it if you buy it online
Hi Sascha. Loved your videos, def found good tips for my visit. Questions :) We are planning on buying the 7day ticket. Do you think it's better to buy them online (no mobile data during out stay)? And the airport transport U7, can I buy that at the airport or also online?
You're very welcome 😁 I would recommend you to buy your 7 day ticket online. You can screenshot the ticket afterwards and don't beet mobile data while you're on Vienna. It's convenient to buy the S7 ticket at the airport at the Red machines, you don't need to buy them online ✈️💯☺️ have fun in Vienna! Have you already seen our cheap Restaurants Episode? 🎉
Hi Sascha. I am coming beginning of Nov. What are some romantic places to spend 2 evenings in couple? Maybe live jazz/classic concerts and dinner? Thanks!!
Hi Sascha, its me again, is theres ticket counter which i could able buy ticket of my choice? once we bought it..it is compulsory to activate rite? thanks. i will be in Vienna in Dec for a week , cheers 😊
Hey! I would recommend you to buy your ticket online in advance 😁 if you buy it online it's already activated, and you don't need to validate it anywhere 😎
Going to Vienna next week for 5 days, still trying to figure out if we should buy the 7-day tickets or the 72-hour tickets. I am a bit confused as what the 72-hour ticket would offer as far as attractions. Could you please help, thanks!
Update: As of Summer 2023 Westbahn has joined the fare system, so tickets are now also valid in those trains (but for inner-city tickets that's basically irrelevant, as their only connection within the city is between Westbahnhof and Hütteldorf).
Hi, thanks for the video, so basicaly If I want to go to the Vienna center from the airport I should by a ticket from the ticket machine and not from mobile app, as the airport is not part of the Viena city zone?
It depends where you bought your ticket 😁 The tickets from the ÖBB (national railway) ticket machines are already validated! If you bought your ticket online at the website of Wiener Linien, or at the App Wie Mobil, they are also already validated! Only if you buy a paper ticket inside the metro station, at a ticket machine, you need to validate them at those blue validator machines. You will find the validators in every tram, bus and subway station, but not inside ÖBB trains or subway trains 😎 I hope this was helpful, make sure to subscribe to our channel ❤️👍
@@viennacalling-travelguide4727 Many thanks for your helpful.Your information help a lots .This is my first time in Vienna (last week of October),🥲😊 looking forward to see a colors of autumn in Vienna🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
I plan to rent one of those bikes to ride around the old town in Vienna. But I'm afraid there are not allowed to use them on streets like Graben, Kämtner, kohlmarkt...
Hi Sascha, does QBB mobile app work the same as Wein mobile app? Can I use either one of them for all transport in Vienna? I will be visiting Vienna, Salzburg, Hallstatt and Innsbruck. Do I need to have different transport mobile app? Please advise, thanks ahead 😊
Hi sascha thanx for your guidance,please advice us the cheapest way to travel salzburg and halstat from vienna as we r family of 6 ,2 adults and 4 kids,and is there any difference in price for kids and do we have to purchase the ticket for our 6 year old? Thanks in advance
Greetings from Singapore. I found your video interesting and informative. many thanks, Question - u mentioned that we can just buy 1 ticket within the city area and use it for bus, tram and underground, is it correct?
Yes, but it’s only one way, so you could travel by bus, change to a tram and again to the underground train until you’re at your destination. To travel back from there you would need to buy a new ticket. Unless you have one of those special tickets you can get, like a 24, 48, or 72 hrs ticket or a ticket valid for a few days. There are various options if you’re staying for more than one day. The 24hrs ticket will cost you €8 which is much better value buying a single one way ticket that would cost you about € 2.50 for a one way ride, whereas you can have an unlimited number of rides from the moment you validate that 24hr ticket at the validation box in every tram, bus, and sometimes trains. If you need to take the underground train make sure to validate the ticket at the gates of the station, before boarding the U-Bahn.
I am old and can’t walk very much. You advise not to use taxis or the fiakers. How close are the tram and Ubahns to major sights, I.e. Museum Quartier, Judenplatz?
if you want some good info on city transport in more detail, let me know :) from my trips I have some pretty in depth knowledge, like what mode is best for what and all :)))
Do I need to buy a ticket in public transport for a 2 year old child? Or does he travel for free if the adults with him all have their valid tickets? Thank you for answering.
I dont really understand i saw a weekly pass that is valid from Monday to Monday and a 7 Days tickets (that s new, i think). Weekly and 7 Days are the same? Or 7 Days really means from the date i wannt 7 days. Because if you stay 4-5 days is the same price for 72 Hours and 7 Days... but i don t understand if is really 7 days starting from the date i selected. Can you explain, please? Thank you.
I would like to know what is the difference between easy city pass and queer city pass as you already told there will be some discounts and how to purchase them.
There are Ticket offices/Information desks at the major stations, just like in basically every other city. Apart from that the ticket machines should be quite self-explanatory, and also the names of the tickets are quite straight-forward. What exactly was hard to understand for you?
Der CAT ist einfach gesagt eine Touristenfalle und es gibt in ganz Wien nur eine einzige Zusteigemöglichkeit. Es gibt weit günstigere Wege um zum Flughafen zu kommen. Alle 30 Minuten fährt eine S-Bahn zum Flughafen und es gibt auch noch die Airportbusse, welche ebenfalls günstiger sind.
Der einzige Mehrwert des CAT ist dass man das Gepäck schon in Wien einchecken kann (allerdings auch nicht für alle Fluglinien). Das bringt aber nur auf der Fahrt _zum_ Flughafen etwas. Für die Strecke vom Flughafen in die Stadt ist er heiße 3 Minuten schneller als der REX - ob das den mehr als dreifachen Preis rechtfertigt überlasse ich mal jedem selbst. Insbesondere weil man dann immer noch ein Ticket für Wien selbst braucht, dass man bei der S-Bahn bereits hat. In der Praxis ist der CAT aber meist sogar langsamer, wenn man nicht gerade im Hilton wohnt (ob man dann aber überhaupt mit der Bahn fährt...), da man in Wien-Mitte dann ja meist sowieso in ein andere Verkehrsmittel umsteigt (die anderen Züge halten auch noch an weiteren Stationen im Stadtgebiet, wodurch man mit denen in aller Regel näher am Fahrtziel umsteigen kann).
Clear, to the point advice! Exactly what’s missing from a lot of channels. Feel a lot more confident about my trip in October now. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for the support
I have a yearly card. 365€ got the whole year for those who don’t know. It’s the best thing ever.
You're a great dude brother
We followed your advice and used the obb train, we went through everywhere without problems!! Great videos!
Great! ❤️😁 Have you already seen our cheap Restaurants episode?
I have been to Vienna 15 times and this is useful even to me. Good work.

If you want to get from Vienna airport to the city centre what tickets do you need and want is the best public transport you should take for that?
Hi! Do you need to wear a helmet 🪖 when biking in the city? Any important rules? 👀

Hi , if i spend 4 days in Vienna city , do i buy weekly pass or 4* daily pass? It's my first adventure to Europe . Thanks .
A one week pass should do it, should cost you 17,10€ 😉
Do I need to buy a ticket in public transport for a 2 year old child? Or does he travel for free if the adults with him all have their valid tickets? Thank you for answering.
Children below 6 years are free. From 6-15 years they can use a reduced-fare ticket.
I dont really understand i saw a weekly pass that is valid from Monday to Monday and a 7 Days tickets (that s new, i think). Weekly and 7 Days are the same? Or 7 Days really means from the date i wannt 7 days. Because if you stay 4-5 days is the same price for 72 Hours and 7 Days... but i don t understand if is really 7 days starting from the date i selected. Can you explain, please? Thank you.
The weekly pass is for a _calendar_ week, i.e. Monday to Monday.
The 7-day ticket is more flexible and starts counting at the day you validate it.
Hello
3days pass for transport
5years old kid pay transport??
Why not take CATS from airport to city center ? too expensive ?
Found your other video about gtting from Airport to city. Crystal clear.
Glad to help
I would like to know what is the difference between easy city pass and queer city pass as you already told there will be some discounts and how to purchase them.
I found Vienna to be the worst city for transport with no help provided at the stations.
It's not the best, but worst? You should come here in the Philippines to know what's really horrible
