Auto
If you can avoid driving your car into Vienna's center, do it! Parking zones are tricky, expensive, and a huge hassle.
When traveling with a car to Vienna, there are two must-dos: double-check if your accommodation offers a parking spot. Second, if they don't, just head straight for a Park & Ride garage. A daily ticket costs €4.60 (€23.10 for a weekly ticket). These garages are close to the U-Bahn so you can save your walking energy for museums and parks.

Vienna's public transport is very reliable. The U-Bahn (underground train) is the fastest way to get around. Great news for late nights: the metro runs 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays (on weekdays: 5:00 - 00:30)! Trams are ideal for sightseeing. Best of all, one ticket is valid for the entire network — no complications.
The Night Owls
Buses are the final, but very important, link in Vienna's public transport!
They mostly complement the network where the metro or trams don't go, meaning you’ll use them most for trips to the suburbs or for specific routes.
The key thing for you is the NightLine! When the U-Bahn and most trams stop running after midnight (on weekdays), the night bus lines (marked with the letter N) take over. They run at regular intervals and use the same ticket as day transport. This is your lifesaver if you stay out late during the week!
