Getting there

Whether you arrive by plane, bus or train, Wein’s transportation system is extremely reliable and will get you anywhere you need. Even locals say their spoiled by the excellency of the ways everything is run in relation to public transport.

You can get your transport tickets directly from the machines outside the stations or you can download the “WienMobile” App where you can get the tickets and pay them by card.

You have several options for the tickets; you can buy single tickets, 24/48/72 hour tickets or a day ticket. In any case, my recommendation would be to get the 24/48/72 hour tickets because they start counting the hours the moment you decide (the app asks when to start the count). For example, if you buy a 24 hour ticket and start at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday, it will expire on Wednesday at 5 p.m. The difference if you buy a day ticket is that this one will last all day, but if you start late you might not be able to get the best of it.

Another good thing about getting th app is that you can get directions where to go. It works similarly to Google Maps but the estimated time of the buses, subway, etc. might be more reliable.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yunuen Polo
Hi! I'm Yunuen Polo, I'm 31 years old and I live in México City. I started travelling at a very young age. My parents introduced me to the love of travelling literally when I was just 3 months old. They took me to the beach and from then on, I believe, it is perhaps my favourite destination. But well, I studied English Literature at UNAM in Mexico and had been a teacher for 10 years. I recently became a mother and decided to try other sorts of incomes, like putting my knowledge and love of travelling into practice. Anyways, since I was young my parents took me to every destination possible from Cancun to Guadalajara to San Francisco to Hawaii to Canada and even Australia. I was always ready to go on a road trip or to get on a plane. For most of my life my trips were arranged for me, until I was in my early twenties and my best friend of the time and I decided we wanted to do a Eurotrip. But, our parents would've never let us go backpacking so we spent months planning our trip. From how to use the Eurail as our main transport, to finding cheap flight for the places we couldn't reach by train to cheap accomodations and everything there was to see in each city so that when we were there we wouldn't waste time figuring out what to do next. It was such a great experience that from then on I also helped my parents, family, and friends plan their own trips (before that they usually paid agencies and travelled with tours). It is not so easy to plan a trip by onseself, you might get carried away by a so called special offer, which turns out not be so special in the end. You might find the wrong info about what to see or not so detailed explanations about the places and end up somewhere you don't really like. In any case, I decided to join this community to help other travellers get the best out of the places they want to go and the kind of trip they want to make. I'm always happy to help, specially when it comes to planning a trip.
