Vienna: Train Station to Apartment

Let's just say we take 1:10 train from Budapest Keleti P.

We get to Wien Meidling at 3:46 and Wien Westbahnhof at 4 PM. I think those are the east and west train stations, respectively.

Either will work. Westbahnhof looks a little less confusing via public transit. And we use that to get to Prague, so probably worth learning it.

Westbahnhof is at Europaplatz 1, 1150, Wien, Austria. The house is at Dampfschiffstrasse 12.

Their public transit website it nice. It tells you what direction, what line, and has pretty little maps.Here are the directions. We can get a 72-hour card for about $19. Obviously we are there for more than 72 hours.

Basically, take the U3 U-bahn line (orange) towards Simmering. Get off at Landstrabe Wien Mitte. You walk a little southeast towards Invalidenstrabe Street. Take the O tram north toward Praterstern S+U.  It says to get off at Hintere Zollamtsstraße and walk, which we can. Franzenbrucke is two stops after that, might be closer. We just walk back across the bridge and hand a right, should be there.

Vienna Rentals

Here's what I go so far. Vienna seems kinda spread out, but has a kick ass public transit system (if we can figure it out).

Basically looked for location, free wifi, and a washer/dryer.  Figured we're not going to spend a ton of time there.

I looked at May 21-24, so 3 nights? Is that right? Anyway...

Apartment Leopold, $360.

Mozart Apartments, $330 for a 1-bedroom, $300 for a studio, although it might only have broadband internet (the kind you plug in).

This one is a little off the beaten path, but it looks nice. I don't think it's more than a mile from the old town/tourist district. He said 255.00. Not sure if that's euros or dollars. Everything on the listing is in dollars. Either way, it's not bad.

Apartment Swittalek is right near the city centre and has a confirmed washer and dryer, but it close to $400 for the 3 nights.


That's all I found that's available so far. There's a bunch of stuff on VRBO. I'm trying to keep this as close to $100/night as possible
