I hope this will be helpful for planning your trip to Vienna. How to get from the Airport to the city City Airport Train (CAT) Travel time: 16 minutes, operates daily between 06:05 - 23:35, with a frequency of 30 min. Rates: One way: €11.00 Round trip: €17.00. I recommend this train. It is nonstop, quick and comfortable. S-bahn Express Train S7 Travel time: 26 minutes, operates daily from 04:31 - 23:46, with a frequency of 30 min. Rates: €4.20. This is another option. It’s cheaper, longer and stops at several stops along the way. Airport buses of the Vienna Airport Line 1: Airport - Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz Daily 01:20 to 02:50; every 30 minutes from 04:50 - 00:20 Line 2: Airport - Vienna Meidling Station - Westbahnhof Daily every 30 minutes from 06:00 - 23:59 Once in Vienna, the Public transportation is quick and efficient. • You can purchase a ticket at all advance sales points of the Wienerlinien, ticket machines in the underground/U-bahn/subway stations, at the online shop of the Wienerlinien (http://www.wienerlinien.at/) or at most ‘Tabak’ / tobacco shops • The rates are 48-hour network card: €12.40, 72-hour network card: €15.40, and for a single ticket for 1 trip including transfers from one line to another: €2.10 Directions to the Venue: The meeting will be at the Vienna General Hospital/ Medical University of Vienna at Waehringer Guertel 18-20. See the attached Ubahn/subway map. It is the U6 station (Michelbeuern) brown line. At the station, simply walk towards the Allgemeines Krankenhaus Wien (AKH) signs to the main entrance (please see map of the venue below) To get to the AKH from the airport, on the CAT or S-bahn, you will have to go to the Wien Page 1 of 4 Mitte/Landstrasse station. The easiest way to the AKH is to take a taxi, which will cost about €10-15. If you want to be adventurous, the easiest way to get from Wien Mitte to the AKH without a taxi is to take the U3 (orange) Ubahn/subway line in the direction Ottakring and get off at the Westbahnof station. There, you will go to the U6 (brown) Ubahn/subway line in the direction Floridsdorf and get off at the Michelbeuern/AKH station.
