 Row, row, row your boat |
Friedrichstrasse 7 Praterlande Vienna, Vienna A-1010 Austria +43 1 5 8880 http://www.ddsg-blue-danube.at |
Perhaps the most picturesque way to arrive or depart Vienna is by boat along the Danube. The main boat terminal is at Reichsbrucke, near the Vorgartenstrasse U-Bahn station. Ferries and hydrofoils sail daily to Passau, Bratislava, and Budapest from April through October, with additional sailings during July and August. A day trip to Bratislava is possible by travelling up the Danube from Vienna and returning by rail. The boats stop at many other towns along the Danube; check with the ticket office for details. Essentially a local transportation hub, the boats are clean and basic. For Danube pleasure cruises, visitors should go to the terminal at Schwedenplatz. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A bustling airport |
Wien Flughafen Schwechat Vienna, Vienna 1300 Austria +43 1 7 0070 http://www.flughafen-wien.at |
Situated 19km south-east of the city centre and extremely close to the Hungarian, Slovakian and Czech borders, Vienna Airport is western Europe's most easterly airport. The airport has a wide catchment area and is particularly popular with those visiting central Europe, with cities like Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Munich and Zagreb just a couple of hours' drive away. The airport contains three short-stay car parks (K1, K2, K3) and four multi-storey car parks (1,3,4,C) for longer stays. Those who prefer the comfort of a taxi should head for the taxi rank outside the arrival hall. Drivers can get out of the city quickly on the A4 motorway. An express bus to Budapest runs six times a day. Numerous cafés and restaurants provide a choice of food ranging from schnitzels (Café Johann Strauss) to sandwiches (Take Off). Transit passengers can admire the panoramic views from the International Marketplace restaurant or kill time in The Dubliner Irish pub which hosts live bands and features an awesome selection of whisky.
