Practical information
The Austria Tourism board provides a summary for entry regulations to Austria here.
You'll find a summary on sights and things to do on the Vienna Tourism webpage.
Getting here
The Vienna International Airport (VIE) is served by many European and international locations. The privately owned City Airport Train takes you to the city within 15 minutes (around 13 EUR per trip). There is also an airport bus service you can book for 11 EUR, which might be convenient depending on the time of arrival and your destination. Alternatively, you can also take the public trains (4.50 EUR per trip), buy tickets here. You can also take a cab, but be warned that cabs taken directly from the airport to the city are very expensive (around 50 EUR), there are plenty of more budget friendly options available.
You can also travel by train, Vienna has several larger train hubs that are well connected with the public transport system.
Getting around
Vienna has a very well working public transport system, and serves trams, busses, subways, lightrail across the city and during the night. You can check out connections here, or search for the "WienMobil" app in Google/Apple app stores.
There is also a WienMobil bike service. There are plenty of rental spots within the city. You need to use an app to unlock the bikes, and pay a small fee to use them.
Both services are well integrated with Google Maps.
