Underground, Streetcar and Bus

Vienna's public transportation system is not entirely accessible, since the entrances to most streetcars have steps - exceptions include "low floor" streetcars on the 1, 2, 5, 6, 26, 31, 37, 40, 43, 44, 46, 49, 58, 60, 62, 65,67, 71, D, and O lines. Displays at the streetcar stations have a blinking wheelchair symbol showing how many minutes are left until a "low floor" streetcar will depart. Furthermore, the departure times of "low floor" streetcars can be found at www.wienerlinien.at/itip . "Low floor" buses are in use on all bus routes.

Vienna's subway system is well-equipped for guests with special needs. 80% of all stations have "guiding strips" for the visually impaired, showing the way to stairs, escalators and elevators. All of the stations have an elevator. However, since these need to be serviced or are out of order from time to time, it is possible to check in advance at
Tel. 7909-0. Further information is available at

Short stay parking zones

Guests with special needs do not have to pay parking fees (please place ID behind windshield!).

The center of Vienna and its surrounding districts are limited parking zones subject to parking fees. The following rules apply: In the center of the city and its surrounding districts (districts 1 to 9 and 20) from 9 am until 10 pm on all workdays, all parking places are short-term and require a fee. District 15 around the Vienna Stadthalle is a limited parking zone from September 1 until June 30 every day between 6 and 11 pm (maximum parking duration in limited parking zones: 2 hours). In shopping streets, days and parking duration may vary: please pay close attention to the road signs. Short-term parking vouchers can be obtained at most tobacconists, in gas stations and the ticket offices as well as the vending machines of the Vienna transportation system.

Throughout Austria, only drivers who have a disability pass may park for free in short stay parking zones. However, in Vienna it is also permitted if the front seat passenger has a disability pass, he or she is therefore driven by someone who does not have a pass (in other parts of Austria different regulations are valid).
