Hi I'll be arriving late evening about 11.00 at night at the airport and need to reach an apartment near friedensbrucke station.
What is the most recommended and best value way to reach this destination?
Taxi, airport train to the centre then metro, tram or other method?
Thanks!
What would be a reasonable price for the taxi?
It was about 35-40 Euros when I took a taxi into central Vienna, but that was a couple of years ago.
Normally I always take the train because it is almost as quick and much cheaper. I'd have a look at the train schedules and see what time you would arrive at your final destination, if you are up for navigating from there to your apartment after midnight, etc. You know yourself and whether this is something you want to deal with, or if you see the value in getting a taxi and door-to-door service at this time of night.
Thanks for the advice all of you
It is no problem (and not dangerous) to use public transport during late night hours in Vienna.
You can take the S7 train from the airport (at 11:19pm or 11:49pm) to Wien-Mitte/Landstraße station (a 23 minutes ride) and change there to U4 subway (green line) to go directly to Friedensbrücke station (a 6 minutes ride). The price is €4.30 per person for the whole ride.
(Do not use the CAT train - it is a rip-off.)
If you miss the 11:49pm train, then you must take a taxi, unless you arrive on a Friday or Saturday, when the U4 runs all night, so you may depart from the airport at 12:19am or 12:49am at the latest.
Thanks wmt1, that was just what I was looking for.
I arrive Friday so the train/tram will be perfect.
The U4 (green line) is a subway line, not a tram.
