hotel albatros location vienna

thanks vertical for information about cardiac convention. im still having a tough time finding any other hotel closer to the center of attractions. may have to just stick with this hotel austria trend albatros. my next question is how far are the subways or public transportation from this hotel to city sights. also wondering, in prague there is a prague pass with discounts to many attractions. is there anything like this in vienna? anyone willing to chime in with any information feel free to. thanks

Vienna has a City Card- good for 72 hours of unlimited transport on all public transport in the city.

It also offers discounts on many attractions from major sights, museums, restaurants, etc.

cost 18,50 euro. a good buy

The Albatros is on Liechtenstein Strasse - the streetcar line #D can be found at the Franz Josef Bahnhof on Julius Tandler Platz about a 5-7 minute walk.and is probably the best means to reach the city center. Probably a 10 minute plus ride on the D to the Ringstrasse at Scottentor- another 5-10 minutes to the Hofburg palace and Fine Arts Museum with the D If you continue with the D it will take you past the State Opera and eventually to the Belvedere palace.

An alternative streetcar is the #38 found on Nüssdorfer Strasse - 5 -7 minute walk and a little up hill . This will take you to Schottentor on the Ring ( same area as the D

Two subway lines , the U-4 and U-6 are further from the hotel- at least 10- 15 minute walk- best to use the streetcar.

The Liechtenstein Palace and Gallery is not far from the hotel and worth a visit .
