Official taxi ranks are located directly outside the arrivals hall. Licensed services like Airport Driver and 40100 operate from here. Fares are metered, but pre-booking online can often secure a fixed, lower price. The journey to the city center typically takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.

Rental Cars

The car rental center is situated in the P4 parking garage, which is connected to the terminal via a short, covered underground walkway. A wide range of major international and local providers are available, including Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, Avis, and Buchbinder. Booking in advance is recommended.

The airport is well-connected to the city's public transport network. Key options include:
- City Airport Train (CAT): A premium, non-stop service to Wien Mitte station in just 16 minutes.
- ÖBB Railjet: High-speed trains connecting the airport to Vienna's main stations (Wien Hauptbahnhof and Wien Meidling) in about 15-18 minutes, ideal for onward national and international travel.

Vienna International Airport is the international airport of Vienna, the capital of Austria, located in Schwechat, 18 km southeast of central Vienna and 57 kilometres west of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It is the country's largest airport and serves as the hub for Austrian Airlines as well as a base for low-cost carriers Wizz Air and Ryanair. It is capable of handling wide-body aircraft up to the Airbus A380. The airport features a dense network of European destinations as well as long-haul flights to Asia, North America and Africa. In 2020, the airport handled 7.8 million passengers, a 75.3% decrease compared to 2019 due to the collapse of air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How can I download CSV files? Posted by simurqq on September 6, 2012

Hello there,

Sorry but I couldn't find a proper location to add my comment to except under my fav airport which is LOWW.
I checked the DOWNLOADS page but couldn't download the database files out there. Eg., the downloaded airports.csv file shows only the header information although the download page warns about a big filesize. It's ca.300kb only and empty.

Can you pls guide me on downloading the dbase files? Thank you!
