    Welcome to Austria! The Grüner See (or Green Lake) near the town of Tragöß is known for its amazingly clear waters; be sure to stop by if you're looking for somewhere to relax!

    Free, reliable, fast WiFi. When staying there last time there was easy access (just a T&C splash screen, no registration required) and fast connection (about 12MB/s in downstream).

    Don't get suckered into the CAT tram Into the city. 12 euros one way. Why? Take the schnell bahn for 4.40 euros. 2.20+2.20 for the ticket. Takes only a few minutes longer and you end up richer.

    Love this airport: it is calm, clean and staff is mostly friendly. Make sure you arrive in advance for check in and security checks when traveling in the summer time.

    That's a really clean and nice airport. But, if you're planning to sleep there or spend more time, remember there's no showers! Free WiFi, charging places and the sofas are great!

    Easy to access and get around airport. Quick registration for Austrian airlines. Very comfy waiting halls by the gates. Some places to sleep and get some work done. There is no rush - this is Austria!

    Vienna Airport is about 30 minutes from the city center. Book your CAT-ticket online in advance (including public transport for the city) and you'll start your journey without any stress.

    like the various shops, restaurants, supermarkets...the best and cheapest way to town: schnellbahn line S7...you can use also the ÖBB trains to main train station-download their app for tickets

    Nice and polite staff, super organized and very well signed, nice options to eat and a nice shop selection and the most important: access by commuter trains (cheapest and good option).

    For me one of the best airports in Europe. The Vienna Lounge is great! Don't use the CAT (City Airport Train), it's way overpriced. Use normal S-Bahn instead for around 4€ one way!

    If you feel you need to top up on your cooking spices then head to Spar where you can buy your weekly shop including pork chops before boarding your plane

    Even waiting for a day wouldn’t be a hassle here with unlimited WiFi and all the amenities. Make sure to relax at the black comfy sofas in the waiting area if you happen to have the time.

    Very convenient, clean, what is great is supermarket downstairs (but before security) so you dont have to pay those prices for food. Water for 1,90€. We have to live with that.

    At the security check make sure you take out all your electronic devices + liquids. It will save you time during the scanning process. Duty free shops work from 6 am at Terminal 1.

    It's quite a modern airport. One downside is that there is quite a bit of walking required between some gates/terminals without the option of "people movers" or other options to make the trek easier.

    The airport is well connected, the city train connects to the metro station, it cost €14 and the 24 hour metro thicket is about €8, the taxi cost about €38 to the down town. The internet is free.

    Do not miss out on great toasted sandwiches in Spar at the arrivals area. Freshly made and so well priced you will regret you did not grab one seeing the prices x3d after the passport control line.

    Love the new terminal: b&w, large spaces, cozy sofas and proper seating for laptop users, wifi. Also fast security check and as a rule - adequate officers on passport control.
