How to get there & around
Vienna International Airport is located 18 km from the Vienna city center. The most hassle-free way for getting to your hotel or the meeting venue is by taking a taxi, which should cost around 25 Euros per fare.
Public transport in Vienna is very good, and if you are just moving around in the inner city, walking should be fine as well. For planning travel by public transport in and around Vienna, you can use this route planning tool: http://www.wienerlinien.at/eportal2/ep/tab.do?tabId=0 (including to-from airport, in German ‘Flughafen Wien’). See the Lonely Planet Vienna guide for more detailed information.
If you want to have a glimpse of Vienna but have only limited time, walking around the inner city and visiting historic places, museums (e.g., the Leopold Museum) and parks is probably your best bet.
