Parking in Vienna with all the regulations is challenging. But with the necessary information, you can park your car in a relaxed manner.
Short-stay parking zones in almost all of Vienna
There is a short-term parking zone throughout Vienna and parking is subject to a charge from Monday to Friday (except public holidays) and is limited in time. The short-term parking zones are valid from 9 am to 10 pm and you are allowed to park for a maximum of 2 hours.
Other regulations apply to Viennese shopping streets and around the Stadthalle.
Please also note the resident parking, which is signposted separately. In some districts there are special parking zones reserved for residents. You are not allowed to park here and the zones also apply at weekends and on public holidays.
Short-term parking zones are always marked at the entrance to the respective district with blue floor markings and corresponding signs.
To park in a short-term parking zone, you must fill out a parking ticket. If you only stop for a very short time, you will receive a 15-minute free parking ticket, but this may not be combined with other parking tickets. For all longer periods you need a parking ticket for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours and 2 hours. But remember to observe the maximum parking time. If you use several parking tickets, you must enter the same start time for all of them. Christian and I will be happy to explain to you how to fill in the parking ticket correctly.
Where can you get the parking tickets?
- tobacconists
- Petrol stations
- Advance booking offices of Wiener Linien
- Ticket vending machines of Wiener Linien
- By cell phone parking – there is a special app for downloading

Garages, Park & Ride and more
You can find a very good overview of where the nearest public garage is on Parken.at
The Park & Ride facilities are a special feature among the garages. These are located on the outskirts of the city, are directly connected to public transportation and the daily rate of currently EUR 3.6 is unbeatably low. By the way, the nearest one to us is in Ottakring.
However, there are not only public garages, but also garages for residents in many residential buildings. And there are often parking spaces here that are not used. At least until recently. Because now there is PAYUCA and this company enables you to use such parking spaces. Simply download the app and you can see where the nearest free parking space is. You can also reserve it in advance.
So, if you are traveling by car in Vienna, always pay attention to the signs, take the information brochure with you and you will find your way around easily.
