Getting to the city
Plan the last leg into Vienna before you land. Trains and buses run between the airport and the city, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals. Rail is the steadier choice when the roads are busy, since it keeps you clear of rush-hour traffic. Buy your ticket before you board rather than on the move, check the time of the last connection of the day, and leave a buffer on the way back — check-in and security queues at a hub this busy can be long.
