Rule of thumb
– Day trips to Vienna for max. 2 people rather public
– Extension to a day ticket within Vienna: additional approx. 8 €
– On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, it is more likely to be by car, as it is easier to park

Heurigen restaurants are simple wine taverns, run by local winegrowers, in which they are allowed to offer their own wine, the “Heurigen” as well as food to go with it. They are found in Baden and all other wine villages in Austria. Since the wine taverns are not allowed to be open all year round, they alternate and publish their opening times in wine tavern calendars, also on the internet. But there are always enough open at the same time.
