YOUR TRAVEL
You're coming by plane...
Austrian Airlines and British Airways fly from London Heathrow to Vienna. Ryanair flies from London Stansted. Tip: If you are choosing to fly via Austrian Airlines or British Airways, check the price difference between Economy and Business Class as sometimes there are phenomenal deals whereby you can pay £15 per person and fly in Business Class (which means extra luggage, priority check-in, lounge access, more space on the plane and a meal).
You want to know how to get from the airport to the centre of Vienna…
Vienna has very reliable and cost-effective transport. It has a City Airport Train (known as “CAT”) which costs EUR 14.90 per person – children up until 15 years old do not have to pay a fare. The CAT takes 16 minutes from the airport to reach Wien Mitte station. Wien Mitte station is a 13-minute walk to The Ritz-Carlton Vienna. If you do decide to take this route, the walk would be through the beautiful Stadtpark. If you wish to take an Uber or a taxi instead, you can order one while waiting in the airport.
