Set aside the first day for the historic centre, and the second for Schönbrunn or the Museum Quarter. Don’t try to fit all the palaces into one short trip.
Start with the details
Save the address, ticket and map offline. Check the date, time, stop name and the transport operator’s latest announcements. You can plan your route on RedRay.
Allow plenty of time
Don’t plan connections that are too tight. Traffic, border controls, finding the right platform or queues can throw a spanner in the works. The guide on preparing for the next stage of your journey provides a useful reference.
Belongings and safety
Keep your documents, mobile phone, charger, water and any essential medication with you. Label large items, and check the rules for non-standard luggage before you set off.
