Airport

- Vienna Airport is reachable by the more expensive but fast CAT - City Airport Train or the slower but cheaper S-Bahn. Both arrive at the station "Landstraße" where you can take the U3 to Gasometer (towards Simmering).
- Note that the train "Railjet" departs from Vienna Airport and usually has the next stop at Vienna central station. From there you have to take the U1 to the city center (Stephansplatz) and change into the U3 (towards Simmering) to go to Gasometer.
- Bratislava
- An alternative (reached by some low-cost airlines) is the Bratislava Airport. From there you can take the bus or train.
Public transport
- Austrian Railway (Österreich Bundesbahnen)
- http://www.oebb.at/en
- Vienna Subway (Wiener Linien)
- There are 24, 48 and 72 hour tickets, as well as 7 day tickets, for getting around in Vienna by public transport.
- The tickets are available as both e-tickets and paper tickets. E-tickets are recommended. Download the WienMobil app to buy your tickets and to show them to fare enforcement as needed. (Trains are taken by the honor system. Fare enforcement officers are able to validate your tickets on spot checks.)
- The subway is called the U-Bahn. The line to the Gasometer is called U3 (the Orange Line). Surface-level commuter trains are called the S-Bahn. You will primarily be using the U-Bahn within the city, but may use the S-Bahn at times. These tickets are valid for all rail travel in the Vienna city core zone, including on ÖBB trains within the Vienna city core zone.
