Vienna or Wien is a calmer city compared to the other European capitals during summers. Vienna is well connected by bus, train and air to the other major cities. Booking well in advance would fetch you very economical fare for both travel and accommodation.
If you are flying into Vienna, there are two options to get to the city. Take the costlier non-stop CAT( city airport train) if you are travelling till city center "Mitte". S7 is an economical option and take to you even ahead of "Mitte". The train tickets are valid till you reach your destination in Vienna city ( i.e it is valid on trams, U-bahn and bus after you alight in zone 100)- Of course, within the validity time.
