Getting there and around
Airport Vienna's Flughafen Wien Schwechat, 19km (12mi) east of the city centre, handles over 12 million passengers a year. The state-owned Austrian Airlines and Lauda Air, another home-grown airline, are the country's main carriers, with flights to the USA, Asia and Australia, and within Europe.
Connections to the city: * rapid train S7 to "Wien Mitte station" every hour. * bus transfer to the City Air Terminal at the Hilton Hotel * taxi * rental car
Getting around in Vienna Cyclists can circle the city on the Ringstrasse bike path, or follow 700km (434mi) of bicycle tracks, including those along the banks of the Danube. Getting around on foot is really easy, as most 'must sees' are in the inner city (the Innere Stadt), and some main streets are pedestrianised. While not cheap, taxis are safe, easily available and fares are metered. You can also hire a horse-drawn carriage (fiacre) from Stephansplatz, Albertinaplatz and Heldenplatz at the Hofburg.
