The journey time from airport to city centre varies between 30 and 45 minutes depending on traffic. Beware, however, morning rush hour into the city – it’s heavy. Continuing work on the Mittlerer Ring is causing a fair amount of traffic problems especially when heading to the airport. Watch out for evening traffic.
