Public Transport

If you arrive on May the 1st, you should know that it is a public holiday in Austria. So look for the Sunday schedules for the public transports.

Bus, Tram and Underground
Consider buying a ticket for the week for 14€. Another possibility would be the “Vienna Card” which you can use for 3 days on every bus, tram or metro, and in addition to that you get discounts or benefits at museums, sights, theaters, concerts, shops, restaurants and cafés. The cost for that ticket is 18.50€. For more informations about the prices and options visit this page.

Public Bike
Another possibility that you can consider is to rent a bike. Vienna has a bike renting system called City Bike. You will need a Citybike Tourist Card for that, mostly you will get them directly in your hotel. There are lots of stations where you can get a bike or bring it back. More informations about City Bike and the costs.

Cab
There are different cab companies with different phone numbers (e.g. +43 222 31300), the hotels will call you one if you need it. But consider cabs are not cheap in Europe.
