Located about 18 km southeast of the city center, it’s usually reachable in 15–25 minutes by the City Airport Train (CAT) or 20–30 minutes by S-Bahn; taxi or ride-hail trips commonly take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport fares generally range from modest city-ticket prices to slightly higher express fares, with taxis and private transfers costing more. Pros: modern facilities, good transfers and frequent services; cons: can be busy during peak periods and slightly farther from central Vienna than some travellers prefer.
