How long does it take to get from Vienna Schwechat Airport (VIE) to the city center?
The distance between Vienna Schwechat Airport (or simply Vienna Airport) and the city center is about 17-18 kms. Typically it takes 15-30 minutes to get to Vienna city center from the airport by car, depending which part of the city you go to. The best hotels are found in the city center. Vienna is not famous of traffic jams, therefore using a taxi is a reasonable choice and obviously the most convenient one.
Public transport is also available, but of course it takes a long time. The train commutes between the city and the airport every 30 minutes. Once you finally arrive to Wien Mitte Terminal, you still need to catch a taxi to your hotel, or find a bus or tram stop nearby. Or walk… The CAT train needs 16 minutes to get from the Vienna Airport to Wien Mitte train station.
How much is a taxi from Vienna Schwechat Airport (VIE) to the city center?
Taxis in Vienna are generally reliable. If you take a cab from the taxi rank in front of the airport, you may need to wait 5-10 minutes int he queue. The cost will be around 60-80 euro, depending on the taxi meter. It is important to mention that vans and minivans are hardly available at the Vienna Airport taxi rank. If you are more than 3 passengers with luggage, you will most likely travel in two or more taxis, paying 60-80 euro for each taxi. So what can you do?
wientransfer.com offers a fix 59 euro for the same taxi service (up to 4 passengers + luggage) and 77 euro for a minivan service (up to 8 passengers + luggage). Our price includes all costs, even credit card fees. Tips to your driver can be a nice gesture, if you enjoyed the service, but it is not obligatory.
Why choose wientransfer.com instead of CAT?
The City Airport Train can be a great choice, if you travel alone, have plenty of time and don't have too many luggages. CAT leaves Vienna Schwechat Airport (VIE) every 30 minutes and it takes around 16 minutes to get to Wien Mitte train station which is in the city center. But can you imagine yourself with 2 big suitcases on the public transport? If you check the CAT train compared to taxis at travel forums like Tripadvisor and VirtualTourist, it is generally not a recommended option. A single ticket costs 15 euro per person. If you're two, it is already 30 euro and you're three persons travelling together, it is already 45 euro. Honestly, not a big deal for a train, that commutes every 30 minutes, needs 16 minutes to take you to Wien Mitte station, from where you still need to walk 20-30 minutes to your hotel, if you’re lucky enough to have a hotel int he city center. Or take a taxi for further 10-20 euro. This way you can easily end up paying more than if you had booked an airport taxi or minibus straight to your hotel.
Our service is door to door, private, and more cost effective. If you are three, the final price with CAT is 45 euro from the airport to the city center. You have to get somehow to your hotel, which means extra costs in this case. Our price is only 59 euro. This is the final price, no hidden costs, and we take you from A to B. You don't have to grab your luggages, you can travel in a comfortable, exclusive car from the airport to anywhere in the city in maximum 20-25 minutes.
With our drivers your travel will be an amazing experience. Just like a sightseeing tour, you can see all of the sights and famous buildings from your car. You can ask anything from the driver, as a local, he is going to tell you all the news and good places in town.
So, this is up to you now, whether you take the train and arrive to your hotel exhausted after you struggled with your luggage across the city for an hour, or you simply meet our driver at the airport, who will help you with your luggage and drive you straight to your hotel entrance.

Schönbrunn
Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands as a testament to Habsburg imperial grandeur in Vienna, Austria. Built in the 17th century, this Baroque masterpiece served as the summer residence for generations of Austrian royalty, most notably Empress Maria Theresa and Franz Joseph.
The palace boasts 1,441 rooms, each exquisitely decorated with period furnishings and artwork. Highlights include the Mirror Room, where a six-year-old Mozart performed for Empress Maria Theresa, and the magnificent Great Gallery, used for imperial banquets and balls.
Surrounding the palace are the expansive Schönbrunn Gardens, covering 500 acres. These formal gardens feature meticulously manicured lawns, fountains, and sculptures. The Gloriette, a hilltop structure offering panoramic views of Vienna, crowns the gardens.
Visitors can explore the Palm House, one of the largest botanical exhibitions in Europe, or enjoy the world's oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, founded in 1752.
Stephansdom
Stephansdom, or St. Stephen's Cathedral, is the heart of Vienna, both geographically and spiritually. This Gothic masterpiece, with its distinctive multi-colored tile roof, has stood watch over the city since the 12th century.
The cathedral's south tower, affectionately known as "Steffl" by locals, soars 136 meters high, offering panoramic views of Vienna to those who brave its 343 steps. The north tower, left unfinished in 1511, houses Europe's second-largest free-swinging church bell, the Pummerin.
Inside, the cathedral impresses with its intricate stone pulpit, baroque altars, and the tomb of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The catacombs beneath hold the remains of Hapsburg royalty and bishops.
Stephansdom has witnessed key moments in Austrian history, from royal weddings to Mozart's funeral. Today, it remains an active parish church and a symbol of Viennese resilience, having survived World War II bombings and fires.
Visitors are drawn to its architectural beauty, rich history, and spiritual significance, making Stephansdom an enduring icon of Vienna.
Mozarthaus
Mozarthaus Vienna, located at A-1010 Vienna, Domgasse 5, offers visitors a unique glimpse into the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This three-story museum is housed in the only surviving Vienna apartment where Mozart lived, from 1784 to 1787, during the height of his fame.
The building, dating back to the 17th century, has been meticulously restored to reflect the ambiance of Mozart's time. Visitors can explore the rooms where the musical genius composed some of his most famous works, including "The Marriage of Figaro."
The museum showcases period instruments, documents, and personal items, providing insight into Mozart's daily life, his family, and his creative process. Interactive displays and audio guides offer a comprehensive understanding of his musical innovations and cultural impact.
Beyond the apartment, the museum delves into Vienna's musical scene during Mozart's era, exploring his relationships with other composers and patrons. Regular concerts and events in the Bösendorfer Hall allow visitors to experience Mozart's music in an intimate setting.
Mozarthaus Vienna stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of classical music's greatest composers, offering a profound connection to Mozart's world in the heart of Austria's capital.
