Our Story

In November 2023, amidst the pulse of New York City, a story quietly began to unfold. Under the city lights, something special took root — a moment that belonged entirely to that place and time. After all, what happens in New York stays in New York.

Vienna has a wonderful selection of hotels and accommodations. Here are some places we warmly recommend — all within easy reach of the city centre.

Travel

Airport Vienna

We recommend flying into Vienna International Airport in Schwechat [VIE].

Getting from the airport to the city

We recommend the following options:

  • S7 S-Bahn (train) to Wien Mitte/Landstraße — approx. €6 per person
  • CAT (City Airport Train): same route as the S7 but faster — approx. €12 per person
  • Uber: €25–40 depending on traffic
  • Bolt (similar to Uber): €25–40 depending on traffic
  • Taxi: not recommended — quite expensive

We do not recommend renting a car. Vienna's public transport is efficient, reliable, and affordable.
*For US visitors: Lyft is not available in Austria.
