Buy your ticket digitally in the WienMobil app: a single ticket costs €3.00 there instead of €3.20, and you avoid the queue at the machine. The ticket has to be validated or activated before you step onto the platform — Vienna has no ticket barriers, but inspectors do check on board.

Frequently asked questions about Südtiroler Platz-Hauptbahnhof

As everywhere on the network, trains at Südtiroler Platz-Hauptbahnhof run from Monday to Thursday and on Sunday roughly from 05:00 – 00:30.

Südtiroler Platz-Hauptbahnhof is a station on line U1 of the Vienna U-Bahn. The line page lists every station on the route together with the journey times; for the whole network see the network map.

You barely need a timetable in Vienna: at peak times trains run every 2–5 minutes, about every 5 minutes during the day, roughly every 7–8 minutes in the evening and every 15 minutes on the through-the-night services. You simply walk down to the platform — the next train is coming. The station is step-free, too: every station on the Vienna U-Bahn has a lift, including the historic ones on the U4 and the U6, which were retrofitted. Individual lifts can be out of service for maintenance.

Wiener Linien use a single flat fare for the Vienna core zone: a single ticket costs €3.20 (€3.00 if you buy it digitally in the WienMobil app or the online shop) and is valid for one journey in one direction, including any changes between U-Bahn, tram, bus and S-Bahn inside the core zone — changing line never costs extra. Visitors usually do best with the 24-hour ticket at €10.20; for longer stays there is the 31-day ticket at €75.00 or the annual pass at €467.00 (€461.00 digital). Vienna has no pay-as-you-go stored-value card — there is nothing like an Oyster card here. All the options are listed under tickets & prices and annual pass. Your ticket must be valid before you board: if an inspector finds you without one, the penalty fare is €135.

Bicycles are allowed on the U-Bahn in principle, but not during the rush hour and only with a separate bicycle ticket. The permitted time windows and the price are set by Wiener Linien and are adjusted from time to time — check the current rules on wienerlinien.at before you travel. Folding bikes count as luggage and can be carried free of charge at any time when folded. Bicycles are not allowed on buses or trams.
