Getting around Wien with luggage

Wien Hauptbahnhof is the departure point for ÖBB long-distance and international services, including Railjet, Eurocity, and Euronight trains to places like Salzburg, Munich, Budapest, and Zurich. It’s also where airport-express rail services connect through to Flughafen Wien, so changing trains or heading straight to a flight with bags is common here. The station is step-free at the Karl-Popper-Straße and Sonnwendgasse entrances, with lifts and escalators throughout, so wheeling a suitcase to the U1 underground or the tram and bus stops outside the main hall is straightforward. Tram line D stops at Hauptbahnhof Ost underneath the station, while lines 18 and O run from the main hall. From the station, the U1 line takes you directly to Stephansplatz for St. Stephen’s Cathedral in the city centre. Walking the 2.9 km to the cathedral takes about 35 minutes, which is doable but less appealing with luggage.

If you’re flying out, the City Airport Train runs non-stop from Wien Mitte station, a major S-Bahn hub for lines S1, S2, S3, and S7.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum is reachable by tram line D to the Burgring/Kunsthistorisches Museum stop, a direct ride from the station.
