In all short-term parking zones, you must have a parking ticket from the first minute of parking onward, even for short stops to unload luggage. 10-minute free parking tickets are available and can be obtained from your hotel. The 10-minute parking tickets may not be combined with other parking tickets.

Parking tickets are available from

Price for 30 minutes: 0.60 € (€1 from 1 March 2012).

If you use multiple parking tickets at once, enter the same starting time on each.

Handicapped guests may park for free and without limitation in short-term parking zones with their handicapped ID behind the windshield.

If your hotel does not have parking facilities, please ask at the reception for an all-day parking permit.

You can park you car very inexpensively at Vienna's Park & Ride Garages for about 3 euros per day. All Park & Ride facilities are directly connected to a subway line, making it easy and convenient to reach the city center.

Garages in the city center and nearby are also available with higher rates.
