Tickets are available at vending machines directly at the station (2 zones: 4.20 Euros) and are valid for connections in Vienna as well (urban railways, underground, tram and bus). All lines are going to Wien-Mitte or beyond, but please mind the right direction (just follow the crowd - hardly anybody goes in the opposite direction). From there take the underground U4 to Karlsplatz, then walk to the venue, through the park.

By Car

Coming by car is generally not recommended, as the car will rather be a burden in the city, while public transportation coverage is excellent. If you still want to come by car, here are some general directions. Please use a route planner (such as Google Maps) for more details.
  • from the South and East: Südautobahn (A2) - Südosttangente (A23) - Exit Gürtel - Südtirolerplatz - Favoritenstrasse - Wiedner Hauptstrasse - Resselgasse
  • from the West: Westautobahn (A1) - Hietzinger Kai - Schönbrunner Straße - Rechte Wienzeile - now it's getting complicated: due to one way streets, you have to make a big circle around the venue until you can finally access in the same way as from south and east
  • from the North: Donauuferautobahn (A22) - Südosttangente (A23) - Exit Gürtel - Südtirolerplatz - Favoritenstrasse - Wiedner Hauptstrasse - Resselgasse
Please bear in mind that you have to buy the official highway toll label ("Vignette") before using any motorway in Austria (more information at http://www.asfinag.at).

Please also note that public parking is not free of charge in the inner districts of Vienna and it is limited to a maximum of 2 hours per stay. For more information, consult the parking management website of the City of Vienna. There are also underground car parks close to the venue, but they are rather costly.
