The railway line S7 (S-Bahn) runs from the airport to the station Landstraße – Wien Mitte. The S-Bahn is the cheapest option to go to the city center.

The first train leaves at 4:53 in the morning, the last one at 00:17 in the night. Timetables. You also have the possibility of using the City Airport Train (CAT) to get from the airport to Landstraße – Wien Mitte.
