We have couple of questions for helpful fodorites. Is vienna Card (for 3 days ) worth the price? Also we are arriving in vienna and leaving for salzburg immediately. What is the best way to travel from vienna airport to the main station? Thanks a lot.

Your train to Salzburg departs from the Vienna Westbahnhof.

An airport transfer bus departs every 30 minutes - the bus is found immediately outside of the Arrivals Hall.
Cost 7 euro payable to the driver.
Uaually a porter at the bus to assist in storing your luggage in the storage compartment .
Journey will take 30- 40 minutes depending on traffic.
The Westbahnhof will be the second stop.

A pre reserved taxi would cost about 30 euro or so- up to 3 people
obviously convenient and no waiting.

re the 3 day card
two of these exist - one 72 hours of transport only on all Vienna trtansport types-

72 hour Vienna Card - all trnsport as above and also various discounts for admissions , store purchases.

If over 65 or a student - your reduced admissions on that basis most often more than that given with the card.
If planning extensive shopping - the discounts with the card are good.
If you plan much touring of sites and are middle aged - perhaps the Vienna Card is useful.
Thus , it depends on what your planning to do in Vienna.
Generally the transport only csrd seems to be the most preferred to travelers.

Thanks a lot. That helps.

Just to amend what molker said:
There are several bus services which leave from outside the arrival's area. The bus stops are well marked with the destination of each service, though.

I try to allow that travelers are intelligent enough and can read the various large signs that direct tourists to the correct place and bus.

And if not, they can still ask one of the charming locals LOL
