The 72-h Vienna ticket (17.10€) is an economic way of moving around in Vienna.

For those who plan to do some sightseeing while they are in Vienna, the Vienna Card (29.00€) might be the right choice. It is also valid for 72 hours and entitles you to reduced rates when visiting museums, exhibitions, etc. You can buy the Vienna Card at the airport, in most hotels or order it online.

For general information on public transport and the different kinds of tickets please see Wiener Linien.

By bike / Walking

Vienna offers a wide range of bicycle paths. 

As most of the sights of Vienna are in the city center and they are close to the venue, it is also recommended to explore the city by foot.
