Be careful when buying a ticket for the Schnellbahn S7. I went to Vienna last week. I ticked the senior ticket as I am 66. I was told by a ticket inspector that I had the wrong ticket. I apparently should have had a Vorteilscard. Which I wouldn't have known about as it was my first visit to Vienna. I got fined 105 euros. The inspector wasn't interested that it was accidental. The only place I saw an inspector was on the journey to Vienna and at the end of my holiday back to the airport. I feel there is an element of catching the tourist here. On the way back to the airport there were 3 German speaking guys who had the wrong ticket. The inspector didn't fine them but told them to get off at the next station. Be warned. Lovely city though!
Thank you for this helpful addition to the video! Discounts can indeed be tricky to navigate. There is more information on the ÖBB website about the discounts they offer (Information in English): www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten
Thank you so much, that's how tourist guides shall be done, nicely explained step by step, I found it so helpful that feel no longer puzzled about how to take my transport to Vienna. Great job ;)
This took so much stress out of me as I will be travelling alone abroad for the first time and I have to switch at least 3 stops! Thank you for the detailed information!
I am arriving in a few days and have been looking up how to get to the city centre and saw there were several options and I was struggling to find which one was best for me! (And decently priced) The overview you added in your video was also very helpful. Appreciate you making this video. Thank you very much 😊
Great step by step video. Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to do it and I hope that there aren't major changes for the last two years.
I love the way you say OBB. I will be coming for the first time to Vienna in May from Malta. So this video has helped me out tremendously. Thank you so much 👍
I love how detailed you explained all the options, you even included where to get to the ticket machines at the airport, and instructions on OBB. as well as visual maps with those options! It may seen like a small thing but definitely make me feel a bit more prepared for my trip, Danke Shoen!
We are leaving Vienna today. One thing I feel is left out of most of these videos is the S7 line as an add-on to any ‘all access’ tickets you may have bought. I believe if you have any 24hr + pass you can get an add on for just 2 euros one way! But you have to get it from the OBB app or machine or counter. You can’t buy even the full 4.80 S7 ticket from the WienMobil app. And the airport transfer add on the city card is way more. I had to have some help to figure out the add on/discount in the OBB app, I wouldn’t take the chance of picking the wrong discount - the OBB app is more confusing to use than the WienMobil app for tourists. But if you want the cheapest way and have already bought some kind of transport pass within Vienna I was told with the machines it is easier to use because in the right hand corner as you are purchasing your ticket there is a choice for ‘city limit’ of some kind and that will give you the correct discount.
@@gretetheaustrianguide well - it’s probably more complicated than most people want to attempt 😁. We just ubered from the airport since there were 4 of us. It’s not too expensive compared to many other cities in Europe when it is divided between more than 2 people.
Thank you for the tip🙏 I am going to Vienna next month for 6 days and I am planning to buy the 7 days card and have already the ÖBB app. I hope it won’t be confusing and hard to use and pay for the tickets with Apple Pay
First vid I came across 💙. Really helpful and explanatory indeed. I visit the City May 18nth. Glad seeing you describing with a sweet smile. I cannot wait ! Big 💙 from Greece 🇬🇷
Thanks! Super helpful to be explained things from a local instead of just Google Maps lol. Prices less egregious than Heathrow Express at least, €30 for a 10 min time saving💀
Sorry, I did not understand. In the screen at 1:32 I do not see VAN 1, 2 or 3; nor a line going to Schwedenplatz but other destination not mentioned in the video. If I want to go to Schwedenplatz, which one is the correct?
Excellant video very detailed will be arriving on vieana ion the 6th of may gives great description of airport and express train.😄may opt for the lazy way Taxi will be flying in from Phoenix Arizona 12 hour flight proberly will choose quickest way to get to hotel
Excluded are airport buses, the Westbahn, and the City Airport Train (CAT). Within Vienna you can use all lines, such as buses, trams, underground (U-Bahn), Badner Bahn, ÖBB trains, and most regional bus lines. But take care: If you cross the city boarder you will have to pay extra for these lines (eg ÖBB & S7).
Thanks for the very informative video! Do the ticket machines accept credit cards, or are they cash only? Also, if I buy the ticket using the OBB app, do I still need to exchange it for a physical ticket?
The machines also accept credit cards. If you purchase you ticket in the app you don't need to exchange it for a physical ticket. You can just show it in the app (it's a QR code).
This is a bit complicated: The airport is outside of vienna. If you take the S7 you obviously have to pay for the full distance. If you already have a ticket or travel pass for Vienna you only have to pay for the small part of the route, that is outside of vienna. At the ticket vending machine you can select the option, that you already have a ticket for Vienna. This will reduce the price for the ticket to (or from) the airport.
Hi! Thank you so much for your informative videos - they help al lot in preparing my upcoming visit to Vienna :) do I understand correctly that even if I buy a 72h ticket for Vienna for 17,10 euro, I still need to buy a separate ticket for S7 line if I need to travel from an airport. I see on a Streckenplan that the last 2 stations of S7 before a Flughafen station itself (starting from Schwechat) are marked as Eigener tarif, so I need this ticket for 4,2 euro anyway, right?
Yes, if you have the 72-hour ticket for Vienna, you'll still need to pay for the distance between the city border and Vienna Airport. When purchasing the ticket to the airport, select the option indicating that you already have a ticket for Vienna, and the fare will be deducted from the total price.
It should be added that if you have the Wiener Linien all-day ticket (which can be purchased online or at the airport at the ÖBB desk, and which is valid on all public transport services in Vienna), a ticket for the Schnellbahn is even cheaper, less than €2, up to the first station within Vienna, Wien Kaiserebersdorf - payment for the rest of the route is included in the Wiener Linien all-day ticket. Greetings to Greta, the guide in my favourite tourist destination, an der schönen blauen Donau!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. We’ll have 7-day transport pass, and based on my research, the s7 train will only be 2.10 euros. Can we purchase the s7 ticket in the app and apply the discount?
Thank you for the helpful video. If you take the S7 or the OBB and need to take a ubahn to the final desitnation will you need to pay again for the ubahn ticket? Thanks.
Thank you Grete, this is very informative video about how to get into town from Vienna airport. As one of the comment says, this is a great example of how the travel video should be. Keep up the great work and I hope you get lots of subscribers.
hola siento hablarte en español. En varios dias voy a Viena . Me podrías indicar como llegar desde el centro de Viena o desde el distrito 2 zona hotel meininger downton Sisi al aeropuerto de viena en OBB , o desde la estación Central (wien Mitte), estoy un poco confundida , muchas gracias.
Awesome video! In July I will go from Vienna Airport with OBB Railjet to Linz. Do I need to buy tickets online early in advance or I can buy OBB Railjet ticket when I arrive at the airport? Will the OBB Railjet ticket price be more expensive in July when I arrive at the airport? Also how do I validate OBB Railjet tickets? Before I enter the train or the conductor will validate the ticket in the train? Thanks!
Hi. Is there one app that you recommend for me to use for all transportation for the three weeks that i plan to stay or do you think ill have to use multiple apps? Thanks!
Hi! If you only stay in Vienna, I can recommend the Wien Mobil App. In this app you can search for transportation and you can also purchase tickets for the public transport in Vienna. I also made a Video about this App. ua-cam.com/video/DsUQeHBFtCA/v-deo.html Alternatively you could use Google Maps. Google Maps is also a good option, if you plan to travel outside of Vienna. Enjoy your time in Vienna!
Hello, thank you very much for your explanations. I want to go to Westbahnhoff. How can I get there if I use S Bahn? Airport --> Wien Mitte --> ? --> Westbahnhoff and which transfer should I use? Thank you,
Danke Gretel. But if my flight is scheduled to arrive around 7:30 pm and I have a large case (luggage). Does the OBB have enough space to put my luggage? Or is it better the CAT ? After one of the trains I must take a taxi to drive me to the hotel. Or a taxi directly from the airport to the hotel? Considering all the costs Thanks for your suggestion
Hi Greta, thanks for the information!!! I will be going to Vienna next Saturday 20/04. Once I arrive at the airport, I’ll go to Vienna centre and so I’ll buy from a ticket machine OBB two tickets, one additional ticket for the borders of Vienna and one for 48 hours. Do I need to validate the 48 hours ticket or not? If yes, can I validate it at the airport station? Please let me know, thanks!!
If you have a day pass of Wiener Linien you travel to or from the airport you have to buy a separate ticket. However, if you go by ÖBB train or S7, you can select, that you already have ticket for Vienna and the train ticket will get cheaper.
@@gretetheaustrianguideAnd how to mark it? I'm looking in the application but there is no such option. Is it enough to just buy a single ticket for e.g. 72 hours for PLN 2.40?
thx for the video we are family with 7 9 years kids at sunday we need to go to handelskai to breitensee will we buy tickets for the kids i plan to buy 72 hours tickests but i am confused
hello, I'm Toto from Indonesia. I really like this video, very helpful for people who are going to vienna. I have subscribed to your channel. In April I will ask you a lot of questions about transportation in Vienna. Don't ever feel bored if I ask later. thank you
Hi, very good and well explained video. One question, on top of the 4,20 train ticket to Vienna center. Do we also need to buy/pay 1.90 for the city boarder? Thank you
The ticket will include the whole distance from Vienna Airport to your destination in the city. However, you will need an extra ticket, for Vienna, if you plan to do more trips in Vienna on that day.
Happy that you found the Video helpful! If you plan to go to Vienna you can also check out the Videos on my other channel. Its German but most videos (expecially the newer ones) have English subtitles! Channel name: is "Grete Walz" ua-cam.com/users/gretewalz
Sorry for my null german. Does the CAT go from the airport to the.......? What does Wien Mitte mean? And are there taxis there to drive me to my hotel or appartment? Thank you
"Wien Mitte" is the name of the station and literally means "The Middle of Vienna." You can find taxis there, as well as at most major train and subway stations in the city.
Hi, thanks for the very nice and informative video. I have one thing that is unclear: if I buy a weekly ticket, which costs €17.10, which additional tickets do I need to buy in order to travel from Vienna Airport to the city center, and vice versa, on the first and last days of my weekly pass and how?
The weekly ticket will only be valid for the city of Vienna.The airport is a little bit outside of Vienna, so you have to buy a ticket for this part of the connection. As mentioned in the video, you can go by bus, ÖBB train or CAT train. You have to buy these tickets separately from the weekly ticket.
@@gretetheaustrianguideHi again, so just to be sure, I have to buy a single ticket of €4.20 apart from my weekly ticket if I travel by S7. And I can buy that in WeinMobil app. Thanks.
It would be helpful to highlight the further price advantage of S7/ÖBB over the CAT in that the ticket allows further connections within the Vienna zone on metro, tram and bus. For CAT you would need an additional ticket.
So if I get the OBB train from the airport to the central railway station(for example) for 4.20 euro I can then take bus or metro with the same ticket?
@@М.М-х7ю Yes, if you stay within the city zone. The ticket has a time limit (I think 90 minutes). You can select your destination from the ÖBB ticket machine at the airport if you want to be absolutely sure about the price and validity.
@@М.М-х7ю Yes (albeit the price has increased to 4.40€ by now). A single ticket for two zones (Airport-Schwechat is the outer tariff zone, from Schwechat everything is the Vienna city zone) is valid for one trip in one direction, including changes (but not going backwards or in circles). You can even mix a single-trip (to get into the city) and eg. 24-hour ticket (within the city); there should be options on the ticket machines if I remember correctly. (Else: just get single ticket to "Schwechat" and an eg. 24h for the city zone.)
You are probably looking for a weekly ticket for Vienna. Please watch my video about the public transport in Vienna. This should clear up your question ua-cam.com/video/VsbXWhkkJqc/v-deo.html
As far as I’ve seen, only one bus operates around the clock: the Vienna Airport Lines Bus 1 (VAL1), which connects the airport to Wien Westbahnhof train station. For more information, visit this website: www.viennaairportlines.at/en/informationen/unser-streckennetz
Depends on how you buy the ticket. But generally speaking: If you buy it at an ÖBB vending machine, where you select the exact date and time and connection, it will be valid for this exact connection, and you don't have to validate the ticket anymore. But there are tickets that need validation. You will find the validating machines before accessing the train platform.
Hi Grete, your video has cleared many doubts, thanks for that! Now I want to know, if I have the Vienna City Card does it include my travel from airport to airbnd (knollgasse/davidgasse) via tram ?
Hi! It depends, which city card you bought and also which option. There ist an additional option for the airport transfer (22 EUR) if you choose the "Vienna City Card"
Yes and no.. the SBahn (S7) and the ÖBB trains are mostly included. You just need to buy an additional ticket, costs 2,10 € for the first two stops from the Airport to the station Schwechat, as this part of the route is not included in the Vienna tickets. Also mind that the prices today are slightly more expensive than they were back then.
Hello! Thank you very much for the information, i’m 17 years old and I’ll be flying at the end of march to Vienna solo and I would also like you to suggest me some places I can find stalls that sell cheap souvenirs like fridge magnets ☺️🇦🇹
Hi Grete, I'm visiting Vienna this month and have accommodation in Arcotel Kaiserwasser Wien hotel. Can you guide me which train should I use to reach the hotel. I'll appreciate your prompt response. Thanks

Be careful when buying a ticket for the Schnellbahn S7. I went to Vienna last week. I ticked the senior ticket as I am 66. I was told by a ticket inspector that I had the wrong ticket.

GRETE -Thank you so much! From Miami! ♥
Hi from Vienna!
Thanks, this is very helpful! Which trains are valid with a three day transport ticket? I assume the CAT is not valid, but what about OBB and S7?
Excluded are airport buses, the Westbahn, and the City Airport Train (CAT). Within Vienna you can use all lines, such as buses, trams, underground (U-Bahn), Badner Bahn, ÖBB trains, and most regional bus lines. But take care: If you cross the city boarder you will have to pay extra for these lines (eg ÖBB & S7).

This is a bit complicated: The airport is outside of vienna. If you take the S7 you obviously have to pay for the full distance.

hello, I'm Toto from Indonesia.
I really like this video, very helpful for people who are going to vienna.
I have subscribed to your channel.
In April I will ask you a lot of questions about transportation in Vienna.
Don't ever feel bored if I ask later.
thank you
Hi, very good and well explained video. One question, on top of the 4,20 train ticket to Vienna center. Do we also need to buy/pay 1.90 for the city boarder? Thank you
The ticket will include the whole distance from Vienna Airport to your destination in the city. However, you will need an extra ticket, for Vienna, if you plan to do more trips in Vienna on that day.
i very appreciate your great video
Happy, it helps!
Planning to visit Vienna from Malaysia…
Great video, thanks!
This was so helpful thank you!!
Perfect 💫
This was really nice and informative. Would help us for your visit next week !!
Happy that you found the Video helpful! If you plan to go to Vienna you can also check out the Videos on my other channel. Its German but most videos (expecially the newer ones) have English subtitles! Channel name: is "Grete Walz" ua-cam.com/users/gretewalz
@@gretetheaustrianguide Sure i will check them :)
Sorry for my null german. Does the CAT go from the airport to the.......? What does Wien Mitte mean? And are there taxis there to drive me to my hotel or appartment?
Thank you
"Wien Mitte" is the name of the station and literally means "The Middle of Vienna." You can find taxis there, as well as at most major train and subway stations in the city.
@@gretetheaustrianguide thank you very much, happy weekend. I have seen several of your videos, which are excellent. 🙏
Hi, thanks for the very nice and informative video. I have one thing that is unclear: if I buy a weekly ticket, which costs €17.10, which additional tickets do I need to buy in order to travel from Vienna Airport to the city center, and vice versa, on the first and last days of my weekly pass and how?
The weekly ticket will only be valid for the city of Vienna.The airport is a little bit outside of Vienna, so you have to buy a ticket for this part of the connection. As mentioned in the video, you can go by bus, ÖBB train or CAT train. You have to buy these tickets separately from the weekly ticket.
@@gretetheaustrianguide Thank you very much for the information.
@@gretetheaustrianguideHi again, so just to be sure, I have to buy a single ticket of €4.20 apart from my weekly ticket if I travel by S7. And I can buy that in WeinMobil app. Thanks.
It would be helpful to highlight the further price advantage of S7/ÖBB over the CAT in that the ticket allows further connections within the Vienna zone on metro, tram and bus. For CAT you would need an additional ticket.
Thank you for the helpful comment!
So if I get the OBB train from the airport to the central railway station(for example) for 4.20 euro I can then take bus or metro with the same ticket?
@@М.М-х7ю Yes, if you stay within the city zone. The ticket has a time limit (I think 90 minutes). You can select your destination from the ÖBB ticket machine at the airport if you want to be absolutely sure about the price and validity.
@@М.М-х7ю Yes (albeit the price has increased to 4.40€ by now).
A single ticket for two zones (Airport-Schwechat is the outer tariff zone, from Schwechat everything is the Vienna city zone) is valid for one trip in one direction, including changes (but not going backwards or in circles).
You can even mix a single-trip (to get into the city) and eg. 24-hour ticket (within the city); there should be options on the ticket machines if I remember correctly. (Else: just get single ticket to "Schwechat" and an eg. 24h for the city zone.)
Hello!
Thank you for the amazing video.
Could you advise please,what is the best route from the airport to Mariahilferstraße?
Thank you
Thanks for the info. How would I get from Vienna airport to Pilgramgasse station?
May i ask a question? Obb and s7 same prize bur different tickets? İf i prefer to but weekly tickets which one should i buy?
You are probably looking for a weekly ticket for Vienna. Please watch my video about the public transport in Vienna. This should clear up your question ua-cam.com/video/VsbXWhkkJqc/v-deo.html
Tank you lovely girl . I’ll arrive at 2 in Vienna airport , does BBO work ? Or the bus ?
As far as I’ve seen, only one bus operates around the clock: the Vienna Airport Lines Bus 1 (VAL1), which connects the airport to Wien Westbahnhof train station. For more information, visit this website: www.viennaairportlines.at/en/informationen/unser-streckennetz
Hallo Grete. Can I buy the S7 ticket on the OBB app...and will it stop at Sanckt Marx? Danke.
Yes you can buy the ticket via app and the S7 train will stop in St. Marx.
@@gretetheaustrianguide Vielen dank Grete.
because I probably understood it correctly, the ticket for the CAT and for the S7 is the same and we buy it from the same machine?
Since the CAT and S7 are operated by different companies, you purchase the tickets from different machines.
Do I need to validate the train ticket? If so where do I find the validating machine?
Depends on how you buy the ticket. But generally speaking: If you buy it at an ÖBB vending machine, where you select the exact date and time and connection, it will be valid for this exact connection, and you don't have to validate the ticket anymore. But there are tickets that need validation. You will find the validating machines before accessing the train platform.
utmärkt förklaring, tack
what do think about s7 should I prefer
Hi Grete, your video has cleared many doubts, thanks for that! Now I want to know, if I have the Vienna City Card does it include my travel from airport to airbnd (knollgasse/davidgasse) via tram ?
Hi! It depends, which city card you bought and also which option. There ist an additional option for the airport transfer (22 EUR) if you choose the "Vienna City Card"
Hello, are any of the airport public transport tickets included in day/weekly tickets?
Yes and no.. the SBahn (S7) and the ÖBB trains are mostly included. You just need to buy an additional ticket, costs 2,10 € for the first two stops from the Airport to the station Schwechat, as this part of the route is not included in the Vienna tickets. Also mind that the prices today are slightly more expensive than they were back then.
Thanks for the response. Couldn't have said it better myself :)
Thank you!
Hello! Thank you very much for the information, i’m 17 years old and I’ll be flying at the end of march to Vienna solo and I would also like you to suggest me some places I can find stalls that sell cheap souvenirs like fridge magnets ☺️🇦🇹
Absolutely brilliant video!👍 Austria super 👌
Hi Grete, I'm visiting Vienna this month and have accommodation in Arcotel Kaiserwasser Wien hotel. Can you guide me which train should I use to reach the hotel. I'll appreciate your prompt response. Thanks
