Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Vienna
Buy the €17.10 weekly transport pass - it's the best value public transport in any major European city. Valid Monday-Sunday, unlimited travel.
Get €3-4 standing room tickets to Vienna State Opera. Sold 80 min before curtain. One of the world's best opera experiences for the price of a coffee!
Visit Naschmarkt on Saturday for the best experience. Arrive before 11am, try local specialties, and explore the adjacent flea market.
Try Wiener Schnitzel at a traditional Beisl (pub) instead of tourist restaurants. Figlmüller is famous but crowded. Schnitzelwirt is a local favorite.
The Vienna City Card isn't always worth it. Calculate if you'll use enough museums. The weekly transport pass + individual tickets often costs less.
