- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €35 - €45. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Confirm the meter is running or agree a fixed daytime fare before departing. Unlicensed drivers may approach inside the terminal; decline them.
- Best alternative: CAT (City Airport Train) to Wien Mitte (€15)
- Validate your ticket by stamping it in the blue machines on the platform before boarding. Tickets bought on the WienMobil app are pre-validated. Inspection patrols are random and plainclothes officers check regularly. Fine without a valid ticket: €105.
- Round up the bill and leave 5-10% for good service in restaurants and cafes. Tipping in taxis is modest, usually rounding up to the nearest euro. No tipping expected in fast food or self-service places.
- Service is included in menu prices (Bedienung). No cover charge is standard. Some tourist-area restaurants mark up menu prices or show prices excluding a service surcharge; always check the menu before ordering and confirm prices if unclear.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent ones. Some non-bank ATM brands in tourist areas charge high withdrawal fees; check the screen fee disclosure before confirming.
