We fly to Vienna from Istanbul with THY for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes.. Our time difference is only 1 hour. 08:55 in the morning the wheels of the plane touch the runway. I wake up at that moment. Yes, we are in Vienna.
There are so many options to go from the airport to the city.. The most used trains called CAT. It costs 10 Euros and takes 15-16 minutes to the city center.. If you plan to stay in Vienna for at least 3 days, it makes more sense to get a “Vienna Card“. Because with this card, all transportation within the city is free for three days.. You pay around 12 Euros when buying for the first time.. In addition, discounts are given in many places, especially in museums.. It is possible to obtain this card from tourist offices or hotels.
S-7 and S-8 trains are alternatives to CAT trains from the airport to the city.. These are around 3 Euros and go to the same station where the Cat trains go in the city centre.. It’s only 10-15 minutes slower.
We went to the city center by taxi since we were 4 people.. As I get closer to the city center from the airport, I see bicycle paths and people going to work on their bicycles, young and old.. There are about 100 km of bike paths.
They walk without hustle and bustle, as if they are enjoying the city with iPods in their ears.. Far away from the hustle and bustle.
Our hotel is located at Graben street Pension Perschky. We can say that it is a hotel or guest house with a maximum of 20 rooms.. in a courtyard. The ceiling height of the rooms is at least 4 meters. Rooms and bathrooms are very spacious.. All the walls are covered with wallpapers. Paintings, mirrors, sconces, armchairs, all very carefully.. This hotel is a bit expensive due to its central location.. Room rate 140 Euro per night. But it’s worth it.
As for accommodation in Vienna, we can say that hotel prices are at the ideal level.. It is useful to stay in central hotels to explore this historical city.. Among these hotels, one of the hotels I can recommend is Leonardo Hotel Vienna. This 4-star hotel is 100 meters from the Mariahilfer Strasse shopping street, 400 meters from the Westbahnhof transport hub and a 5-minute metro ride from Vienna city centre.. You can choose this hotel, which is very convenient in terms of location and facilities.. In addition, SHS Hotel Fürstenhof, located in almost the same location, has similar facilities.. The hotel is 20 minutes by underground from Schönbrunn Palace, St.. Stephen’s Cathedral is 15 minutes away.. If you want to make your stay in a more luxurious hotel, you can consider Motel One Wien-Hauptbahnhof, which has a unique concept.. While it is 5 minutes away from the city center, it has easy access to many shopping points, restaurants and entertainment venues..
