Would you like unlimited use of Wiener Linien public transport in the Vienna core zone for the duration of your stay? The Vienna City Card is available in 24-, 48-, and 72-hour versions, as well as a 7-day version. Once activated, you can enjoy unlimited use of Wiener Linien public transport in the Vienna core zone and benefit from discounts at a wide range of partner companies!
Vienna Airport is located outside the Vienna core zone. With the Airport Transfer Add-On, you can also use this route.
The 24, 48, and 72 hours tickets for public transport allows you travel across all transport networks in Vienna (zone 100)
✔ Underground
✔ Trams
✔ Buses (incl. Nightline buses)
✔ S-Bahn urban railway
The undergrounds (U-Bahn) run from around 5am until midnight, but run 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays and the night before public holidays. Your travelcard is also valid on all night buses and night tubes.
Buses and trams have less operating hours and stop running earlier in the evening.
For more information regarding Vienna’s public transport network (Wiener Linien) please visit www.wienerlinien.at.
At every tube stop you will find a small blue ticket machine to activate your ticket, as well as inside the trams and buses themselves. You must slot your ticket into the machine to stamp and activate it. The first time you do this will be the activation date and time of your ticket. From then, the ticket will be valid for the duration of 24 hours or 7 days.
Suggestion
These tickets are not valid for travel to and from the Vienna airport. You will need to purchase an additional one-way ticket from Vienna Airport to Vienna city border. Although there are no ticket barriers, there are frequent checks by undercover transport officers on the transport networks – so make sure you have validated your ticket before you go. If you travel from the airport to the city centre, make sure to validate both, the extra airport ticket and your travelcard. Both adults and children are also required to hold a valid form of ID to be able to show on demand as well.
Children under 6 travel for free on the transport network. During school holidays in Vienna, on Sundays and public holidays, as well as on 2 and 15 November, children and youths travel free of charge on Wiener Linien’s network until the age of 15. Please show an identity card with a date of birth. School holidays in Vienna are listed here.
