DIRECTIONS
From Westbahnhof

From the Airport
Most convenient is the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (6 ', buy ticket from driver). The cheapest option is the S-Bahn to Wien Mitte and subway U3 to Westbahnhof from there (same ticket valid for both, 3.40 '). The 'City Airport Train' (CAT) is a few minutes faster than the S-Bahn, but costs 8 Euros - it also ends at Wien Mitte, from where you'll have to catch the U3 underground to Westbahnhof. The CAT ticket is NOT valid for the U3!
Shuttle bus:
It will drop you off on the northern side of Westbahnhof (which is a huge construction site at the moment) - we are on the southern side of it, so you have to walk around it or right through it, that's faster. Here is how: walk into the station, then past all the platforms - all the way to platform 1 (always straight ahead), there are yellow arrows on the floor with 'zur U-Bahn' and 'zur Stra'enbahn' written on them' that's the right way! Continue walking straight ahead, past platform 1 until you enter the provisional entrance hall of the Westbahnhof, down the escalators in front of you, once you've reach the bottom of the stairs turn right and take the exit 'Gerstnerstra'e' (you should be standing in front of a Chinese restaurant) - turn left and walk down Gerstnerstra'e until you hit the main street (Mariahilfer Stra'e) - look to your right and you can already see the wombats on the opposite side of the street'
S-Bahn or CAT and U3:
Get off the U3 at Westbahnhof, then take the exit 'u'ere Mariahilfer Stra'e'. Once up there, continue walking until no. 137 on the left-hand side of the street.
