Arrived into Vienna the other day via train and I was stunned at how convenient it was! By merely…read moretaking the escalator to the street level, I was right where the tram was into the city! I got off my train and was on my train in a merely minutes! The tram was easy as tickets were available on the app with a slight discount. There are also tickets available for sale on the tram.

European train stations are so nice. This one has 3 floors of restaurants, shops and even an IKEA…read more. Didn't have enough time to see the IKEA but I saw the elevator stop. It's a large railway station with multiple platforms on different floors. It's spacious and very clean. Signage is so very clear and also in English. Besides the shops and the cafes, there is something so touching and always worth noting. There's a statue memorializing the Kindertransport. The statue is of a young boy sitting on a suitcase. This was the train station in 1938 that took over 10,000 young children from Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia, separating them from their parents, and transporting them to England so they wouldn't face Nazi Persecution. It's a poignant statue and the trauma these children faced should never be forgotten

This station certainly serves its purpose. It is relatively small making it very easy to navigate…read more In spite of its size, however, there is a manned ticket counter and there are routes that can be accessed going to several locations. It is somewhat interesting architecturally with high arching ceilings, granite construction and intriguing reliefs in various places. The schedule board is well placed and finding platforms is no problem at all. The amenities are limited but there are at least places to buy food and drink to take away. In general, I thought this station was nice enough and easy to use. It is an quick walk to and from city centre making it a great way to begin and/or end a visit to Brno.

Definitely not as shiny nor as big as its counterpart in Prague, but it gets the job done. There…read moreare places to get your coffee and baked goods. If you want more dining and shopping options, across the street from the station is a supermarket and places to grab a bite to eat. There is free wi-fi, a waiting room and lockers you can rent/hire if you want to leave your luggage and explore the city. Be aware the lockers only accept 10 and 20 Czech koruna coins, and there is no change machine! (I bought a coffee to get my change). 60 Kč gets you the smallest locker which fit my overstuffed 40 liter backpack.

I have mixed feelings regarding this station, as first it stops at SCS and SC17, which is really…read moregreat as all the bog stores are here. So for convenience it is really great. However this stop is just one stop outside the Vienna City area, which means you need to by another transport ticket to travel this one stop, which for me is a not worth spending 2.20 Euro to go one stop. Lucky for me this cost is covered by my IKEA Family card, so i do not need to pay it, but for other people they have this extra cost to get here. I would actually like to see an additional stop an other 300 meters down the line, to give faster access to the Multiplex part of SCS shopping City.

Really clean train station right near the amusement park and University of Vienna. The last stop of…read morethis train takes you to Karlsplatz which is where the Opera House is as well as other sites. The train runs until midnight on Sundays.

I am always a little unsure of how to rate subway stations. Especially those that are like this…read moresmall, and extremely simple. While I do not have to take the U-Bahn to get to school, since this station is closest to my flat, if I need to get almost anywhere else not in immediate walking distance, this is the station I go to. Like I said earlier, the station is very simple as is the architecture, but I like that there are those windows to let some daylight into the station. There are two entrances, on on the far side of the exhibition center, and another near the Prater amusement park garage. Right across the cross walk from Motel One. Platform is the kind where trains arrive on both sides, so not one where you can accidentally end up on the wrong side, and take a train in the wrong direction. Elevators on both sides, but from what I have seen, the elevator on the Prater side has a tendency to get stuck. One time the thing broke while I was walking down the stairs next to it. The good news, however, is that in both cases, when I returned in a few hours, there was already a technician working on it. Escalator only on the Messe side. There is a station supervisors office in the station, but in the times I have been to that side of the station, the office was closed. Station is clean! it is not shiny, and I would not eat off the ground, but relative to some other train stations I have seen around the world, this one is pretty neat.

I believe Kagran is one of the more used stations on the U1 line, as it gives access to many other…read morelines, but more importantly it gives access to the DonuaCentrum /DonauPlex. It has everything you need and more there. However it often smells not the best, due to that it is used so much. It is in need of renovations, which i am sure will happen one day.
