Public Transport
You can find connections and timetables at the the web site of the
Wiener Linien and city maps here.
For example, to find a connection from the airport to the hotel, enter
town: Wien,
stop: Flughafen,
town: Wien,
address: Julius-Tandler-Platz 4
and the desired date and time.
Then click on submit twice.
Public transport is convenient and safe. Trams, buses and underground trains
generally run until about midnight: first and last trains are listed
at each stop. There are also night buses on some routes which can be
used with the same kind of tickets and are also found by the route
finder mentioned above.
Inside each bus, underground or tram carriage there is a list of all
the stops on that line. All stops are signposted (at bus and tram
stops at the top of the stop sign). Free subway maps are available at
information offices. Ticket vending machines take € 10 bills
but it is advisable to have some small change with you. 'Zone 1'
covers all of Vienna; the other zones apply to lines to nearby towns,
or to Vienna Airport. In particular, if you buy a single ticket (=
Einzelfahrkarte) at a vending machine you should press yellow button
1 under the 'Einzelfahrkarte' table for adults.

Transportation from the airport to Landstraße or Schwedenplatz
Taxis from the airport to Vienna are expensive (starting from
€ 27.00
if you order in advance),
so you should either
take the airport bus service from the airport to terminus Schwedenplatz
(price around € 6.00,
every 20 min., tickets available from the driver), or use the Rapid
Transit train (Schnellbahn) line S 8 from the airport to
Landstraße/Wien Mitte (price = 2 single tram
tickets = € 3.60, about every 30 min.; tickets are available from a
ticket office on the platform from which the train leaves and
also cover the continuation of the journey to the hotel) or take
the (faster) train CAT from the airport to
Landstraße/Wien Mitte (price= € 12.00).
