Vienna International Airport (VIE)

About Vienna Airport

Vienna International Airport (IATA code VIE) is Austria's largest airport and serves the capital, Vienna. It is located in Schwechat, south-east of the city, and is often referred to simply as Vienna-Schwechat.

The airport is the home hub of Austrian Airlines and an important link between Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. Its compact layout and good rail connections make it popular with both tourists and business travellers. Vienna is also close to Bratislava, so some visitors combine the two capitals in one trip.

Getting to the city centre

Vienna Airport has excellent rail links:

• City Airport Train (CAT) — a non-stop express train to Wien Mitte in the city centre.
• S-Bahn — the suburban S7 line is a cheaper, slower alternative into the city.
• Long-distance and regional trains — connect the airport with Vienna's main station and other Austrian cities.
• Buses and taxis — also available outside arrivals.

Check current services on the official airport website before you travel.

Practical tips

A few simple habits make the airport part of your trip much smoother:

• Arrive early, especially in peak travel seasons: queues at check-in, security and passport control can build up quickly.
• Double-check the airport code and terminal on your booking — cities with several airports are easy to mix up.
• Check passport validity and entry requirements with official sources such as the embassy or consulate.
• Train tickets differ between the CAT and regular trains, so buy the ticket that matches the train you board.
