Vienna metro map
Vienna's subway, known as the U-Bahn, is one of the most modern metros in Europe. The metro was opened on May 8, 1976, but its system uses sections of the Vienna railway, laid at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries..
Vienna metro opening hours
The metro is open from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. on weekdays, and on Friday and Saturday, as well as on the eve of public holidays, the metro operates around the clock with a waiting period increased to 15 minutes.
Vienna metro tickets
The Vienna transport system has a general ticket for all types of transport: metro, tram, train (S-Bahn) and bus. Single tickets and top-up cards can be purchased at Wiener Linien offices, tobacco shops and kiosks.
During the Austrian school holidays, as well as on Sundays and public holidays, children under the age of 15 can ride with an ID. Travel for children under 6 years old on any type of public transport is free. Bicycles can be transported by metro for half the fare, excluding peak times.
