How to get to
Graben, Vienna
Being centrally located within Vienna it is each to reach the
Graben and anywhere
From
the International Airport
Just 20 minutes outside the city center the Vienna
International Aiport is beside the Donau river and is
well connected by the Ost Autobahn to the city. It
takes about 20 minutes to drive from the Airport to the
Graben.
Or you can take public transport. Both bus 1185 and
the Rail and subway systems can take you.
From the airport busterminal, the Flughafen Wien
Busterminal, take the 1185 directly into the city. It
goes all the way to Wien Morzinplatz. From the bus
stop you should walk back along the river bank to the
main Rotenturmstrasse which is 600 meters until the
Graben.
Alternatively take the S7 suburban train from the
airport as far as Wien Mitte-Landstrasse. And there
change to the Underground rail service. It is one stop
from Landstrasse to Stephansplatz which is right at one
end of the Graben.
From Naschmarkt
Although both major shopping areas of course the
Naschmarkt and the Graben show quite different
characters. Though it is interesting to reflect that the
fresh fruits and vegetables sold today at Naschmarkt are
exactly the produce which was sold in the Graben in
medieval times!
The two are within easy, and interesting, walking
distance. The total walk is only about one km
whether you walk along the Operngasse or Kartnerstrass.
