Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Vienna
- Am Hof sits right in Vienna's city center and is an easy walk from several U Bahn stations, including Schottentor, Herrengasse and Stephansplatz
- Public transport is the best option, since parking in the city center is very limited
- Comfortable shoes are a good idea, since the festival is best enjoyed standing and moving between stands
- Given the central location, booking a hotel in the city center well ahead of the dates is worthwhile
- Carrying some cash and small change makes buying beer and paying the glass deposit at each stand easier
