Travelling by plane

From Vienna International Airport

The most convenient way to come by plane to Mistelbach is via Vienna International Airport (VIE). The airport is connected to all major parts of the world. From there you have to take a train (Schnellbahn Line S 7) to the station Wien Praterstern, which is a 30 minutes trip (train service roughly every half an hour). From Wien Praterstern you have to catch another train to Mistelbach (Schnellbahn Line S 2). There are plenty of such trains to Mistelbach and the trip takes about 1 hour. In addition you can choose between the Schnellbahn Line S 2 and local trains, especially during rush hours. The LOC will organize a free shuttle service from Mistelbach railway station to the Agricultural School and to private accommodations respectively. Let the LOC know when you will arrive in Mistelbach.

A word of warning: alternatively to the Schnellbahn Line S 7 there is another train service to the city of Vienna, called City Airport Train (CAT). This train is faster (16 minutes duration), but rather expensive (€ 11.- instead of € 4.40; one way). It has its terminal at Wien Mitte, from where not as many trains are going to Mistelbach as from Wien Praterstern. Therefore it is recommended to take the Schnellbahn Line S 7 and change the train at Wien Praterstern.

From Bratislava International Airport

Bratislava International Airport (BTS) is the second largest international airport in the vicinity of Mistelbach and may be a cheaper option, especially for Eastern European residents. The airport is connected with Bratislava hlavná stanica (Bratislava main railway station) via Bus Line 61 (service every 15-20 minutes). From there a train going to Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna main railway station) leaves roughly every hour and the trip takes 1 hour and 15 minutes. Wien Hauptbahnhof is connected with Wien Praterstern by Schnellbahn Lines S 1, S 2 and S 3 (service every 5-10 minutes; 12 minutes duration).

From Brno International Airport

Brno International Airport (BRQ) is the third international airport not far away from Mistelbach. Although the airport is frequented by some cheap airlines, it is not rec-ommended to fly via Brno, since there is no direct train connection to Mistelbach. There is a bus service from Brno to Vienna, which stops at Mistelbach, but only one time a day. The latter applies for the way back, too.
