                  How to reach the Palais Niederösterreich 
                     
                    By Plane 
                    From Vienna International Airport you can use the City Airport Train (CAT) www.cityairporttrain.com, which leaves the airport every 16 minutes. The CAT is a non stop transportation from the Airport to the City of Vienna (ticket is € 11.- one way). From the terminal station of the CAT (“Landstraße/ Wien Mitte”) change to the orange underground U3 in direction “Ottakring” and get off at the third stop, called “Herrengasse”. It is only 1 minute walking distance to the venue from the station.  
                     
                    The venue can also be reached by suburban railway (S7, mainly departs from platform 2), which takes a bit longer than the CAT, and might not be as comfortable, but is a lot cheaper than the CAT (€ 4.- one way). The Railway stops at “Landstraße/ Wien Mitte”, where you have to change to the orange underground U3 in direction “Ottakring” and get off at the third stop, called “Herrengasse”. It is only 1 minute walking distance to the venue from the station.
