Getting Around Vienna
Bed and breakfast visitors will discover that Vienna is divided into 23 districts, each with its own personality and flavor. Whichever Vienna district your bed and breakfast may be in, you can count on there being adequate and easy public transportation. Bed and breakfast visitors can rely on the Vienna transportation system to take them wherever they need to go. The city center of Vienna is called the Innenstadt, which has a pedestrian center known as the Stephansplatz. Many of the major cultural attractions are located in this district, so bed and breakfast visitors who have only a limited amount of time in Vienna should base themselves here, and may never find a need to visit the other districts. But for a longer bed and breakfast vacation, the whole of the city is at your fingertips when traveling on the U-Bahn, the subway system, or the Strabanbahn and S-bahn, the tram systems. Bed and breakfast visitors will enjoy that tickets are inexpensive and stops are frequent enough to get you wherever you would like to go. A great idea for Vienna bed and breakfast visitors who are on a budget is to purchase the Vorteilscard, which allows for 72 hours of travel as well as discounts into major museums and sights. A fun way of getting around Vienna for bed and breakfast visitors who are feeling adventurous is to rent a bike and see the city on your own power. Some outfits that offer bike rentals to bed and breakfast guests also offer guided tours by bicycle, a fun way to learn Vienna from the streets.
