An alternative option would be to consider jumping on a bus. These are frequent and some lines run 24 hours a day providing ease if you’re arriving late at night. Once your flight to Vienna lands, you can find information for the 4 different lines so you can decide which is best for you. Lastly you can opt to grab a taxi from outside of the airport, however you’ll be spending a lot more money in comparison. Make sure you agree on the price before getting in and expect it somewhere in the region of between 30 to 40 euros.
