Hello all,
It's my first post here and apparently will not be the last one. :) Me and my two friends will be in Wien in July and we plan to come there from Graz by train. When I search for train lines, I saw that the train's arrival that suits our timetable is 23:59; so we'll be in Wien Meidling just about 23:59. I don't know which part of the city to stay yet, but I wonder is there any public transport still working after midnight? For example, how can we go to Josefstadt?
Thanks for your answers in advance. :)

Hi!
During the week there are night buses operating in Wien throughout the night, at the weekend the metro is operating as well.
From Meidling best connection to Josefstadt is the U6 metro direction Floridsdorf. The last metro is at 0042, so no problem to get to Josefstadt.
Nice hostels are the Wombats, two close to Westbahnhof, the third at the Naschmarkt.

Thanks for the info Flo. :)
I think we'll be in Wien on some Tuesday, so the metro would not be an option to us; or you said the metro is operating until 00.42 also during weekdays and until the morning during weekend? Also there might be a delay on train, that's why I want it to be guaranteed.
I'll check now the Wombats, hope I find on the internet. Is Westbanhof close to Meidling?
We won't have much time in Graz actually, we have friends over there to attend a choir contest and we'll support them by being there. Still, if you give us a good bar name in Graz and its location, it would be great. :) One more, is drinking legal in public areas like parks in Graz?

Hej,
yes, the 0042 is the last regular metro throughout the week (except Saturday where the las one is at 0017). Afterwards the night network starts so you'll get to where you want for sure. :)
The train wont be delayed almost 99%.
Westbahnhof is 4 stops with U6 from Meidling. The recently opened Wombats is on U4 direction Heiligenstadt, change from U6 at Längenfeldgasse.
In Graz I think it is not allowed to drink alcohol at the Hauptplatz and in some streets around the university at night (where many student bars are)...but I'm not exactly sure if this is still valid. Those arent the places to chill anyway. ;) No problem in the parks.
Better go to the Parkhouse in the Stadtpark to relax; or maybe to the Continuum at the top end of Sporgasse for beer and shisha.

Fantastic help Flo, I cannot get more information anywhere else. :)
I've checked the Wombats but unfortunately they are not available at the dates we'll be in Wien. No problem, I've found somewhere else; we're going to use there only for sleeping at night.
Thanks again.
