Get In - By Plane
About 35 kilometers northeast of Baden is Vienna International Airport (IATA: VIE), the closest airport to the town. Numerous European and worldwide airports provide flights to Vienna. You may examine the facilities, services, and flight schedules on the airport’s website.
You have various choices for getting to Baden from the airport:
- Baden is best reached by automobile via the A4-S1-A2 highways. The trip takes, pending traffic, around thirty minutes. Renting a car online or at the airport is both possible. Furthermore accessible are a number of taxi and car-sharing services.
- By public transport: To reach Baden or Wiener Neustadt, change to another S-Bahn or regional train after taking the S-Bahn line S7 to Wien-Rennweg. As certain trains to Wiener Neustadt utilize the Pottendorfer line, which avoids Baden, be careful to pick an S-Bahn line with a single digit (S1, S2, or S3). The trip takes around one and a half hours, and as of 1/2023, the price for four VOR (Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region) zones is 8.50 euro. The airport has ticket sales as well as online.
- By bus: Baden may be reached by bus from the airport as well. From the airport to Vienna Opera/Karlsplatz, then to Baden and Bad Vöslau, is the bus 303. At 1/2023, the cost is 9 euros, and the trip takes around 1:30 hours. Tickets are available online or from the driver.

Get In - By Train
The Südbahn, which links Vienna with Wiener Neustadt, Graz, and other southern locations, makes Baden easily reachable by train. Main line S-Bahn stations include Meidling, Hauptbahnhof, Wien-Mitte, and Praterstern. Furthermore, Baden railway station is served by trains departing from Mödling.
Furthermore, the Vienna-Baden municipal railway is housed at the Baden Josefsplatz station. Operating as a tram in both Vienna and Baden, this railway only utilizes its own tracks on the overland section. Comparing the “Badner Bahn” to the regional trains, the journey time from Vienna is much longer. It does, however, provide a straight route from the city center to itself, eliminating the need for any rail transfers. Traiskirchen, Guntramsdorf, Wiener Neudorf and Vösendorf are the stops of the local train.
Either the S-Bahn or the Badner Bahn will get you to Baden for the same price. As of October 2015, its cost is 6.80 euros and it covers three zones in the Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region (VOR). To go to Baden, passengers with valid Kernzone Wien tickets—which finish at the Vösendorf-Siebenhirten station—must buy an extra connecting ticket.
