Could someone recommend directions from the airport to Pension Nossek using public transportation - as well as the approximate cost? Thanks!

There are two basic routes you can follow (if you don%26#39;t want to take a taxi!):
Airport bus (Vienna Airport lines)
to Schwedenplatz (actually Morzinplatz) and then one stop on the Ubahn U1 line from Schwedenplatz to Stephansplatz, then walk down the Graben and you%26#39;re there
or
Schnellbahn S7 (metropolitan) train OR City Airport Train (CAT) from the airport to Wien Mitte. There change to the U3 and go two stops to Stephansplatz and walk down the Graben ditto.
The costs are:
airport bus 6 euros one way + Ubahn ride 1.50 euros
S7 train 3 euros for the whole journey
CAT train 9 or 10 euros one way + Ubahn ride 1.50 euros.
The CAT train is about 10 mins less travelling time than the S7 and I don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s worth the difference in money.
Timetables for the various transport options from the airport can be found on its website here:
viennaairport.com/jart/prj3/via/website.jart…
Depending on where I%26#39;m staying I usually take the S7/U3 combo, or the bus/U1. The bus is slightly easier travelling alone because you shove your suitcase into a hold into the bus and don%26#39;t need to clamber up into the S7 train lifting it by main force. The Ubahn trains are level with the platform and easy to get in and out of.
Hope that helps!
