How to navigate Vienna old town

Start from Stephansplatz or a tram stop. Follow the photos past the arcades, the courtyards and the coffeehouse signs. The Durchhäuser - passages that cut through buildings - are easy to miss; the photo of the archway shows exactly where to enter.

From the airport to Vienna

From VIE: City Airport Train (CAT) to Wien Mitte (~16 min) or S-Bahn S7 (~25 min), then metro. From Bratislava airport, FlixBus to the center (~90 min). Save an imhere route from Wien Mitte for the final walk into the old courtyards.
