How your guests arrive: Vienna Airport and the central station
Vienna International Airport
The airport lies in Schwechat, south-east of the city, approx. 20 km from the central station (about 19 minutes without traffic). All arriving passengers come out into the central arrivals hall in Terminal 3 on level 0.
Vienna central station
If guests arrive by Railjet, the chauffeur picks them up at the central station on request. From there it is approx. 4 km to the Hofburg and approx. 7 km to VIECON at the Prater.
Vienna for event guests: short-stay parking, the Südosttangente and Neu Marx
Short-stay parking zone across Vienna
Since March 2022 a short-stay parking zone has applied across the whole of Vienna, Monday to Friday from 9 am to 10 pm, with a maximum stay of 2 hours. So we agree in advance where the chauffeur waits during your event.
The A23 Südosttangente
According to ASFINAG, the A23 is Austria’s busiest road with around 230,000 vehicles a day; at peak times, trips between the airport and the city take longer. We allow for this before a congress begins.
Neu Marx and the Marx Halle
The Marx Halle is in the Neu Marx urban development area in the 3rd district, together with Media Quarter Marx and the Vienna Biocenter. From the airport it is approx. 18 km, about 17 minutes without traffic; anyone with meetings in town beforehand can book our Vienna chauffeur service.
Vehicles and planning for your event in Vienna
If congress guests stay in several hotels along the Ringstrasse, we plan gathering points and departure times so that everyone is in the hall in time for the opening.
Example: 12 guests from Schwechat to the Hofburg
Twelve guests fit into two Business Vans on paper. For the approx. 21 km from the airport to the Hofburg Vienna, both need about 22 minutes without traffic; we see whether they are free on your date from your request.
For group journeys by the hour, by the day or over several days, there is our minibus with driver.
If guests then travel on to Bratislava, Budapest or Salzburg, our city-to-city transfer from Vienna takes them.
