I would like to see Danube River and the master piece of %26#39;Der Kuss%26#39; painting.

It is probably easier for you to stay at the airport Hotel ( NH Hotel) directly across the street from the Arrivals Hall.

However this may more costly than you want to spend as you look for a hostel or Pension ( none at the airport)

This location makes it easy for you to leave baggage assuing it is not %26quot; Checked Through%26quot; and makes for an easy Check-in in the morning.

The alternative id to look for accomodations in the city center

look to www,info.wien.at for good information onthe city, hotels etc.

look for a hotel with a postal code 1010 as this will be city center.

From the airport you can take a bus, train of taxi to city center.

The Cat Train is probably the easiest and fastest ( 16 minutes)

15- 16 euros round trip.

You find it in the lower level of the airport.

When you arrive at the city station %26quot; Wien Mitte%26quot; buy a 24 hour public transport ticket ( 5 euros)

Proceed to your hotel then sightseeing

Or if you are staying at the airport.

Take airport bus to Sudbahnhof - Buy round trip ticket from driver ( 12-14 euros? ) bus leaves every 20+- minutes from the front of the Arrivals Hall Trip takes about 25-30 minutes.

When you arrive at the Sudbahnhof- look for the entrance to the Palace Belvedere across the street and the Klimt paintings.

Walk in the nice gardens too.

After your visit to the Palace , walk back to the Sudbahnhof and before crossing the street find the Streetcar %26quot; D%26quot; Take the %26quot; D%26quot; to the Oper stop ( 10 minutes) walk down stairs to the Subway U-1 . Take the U-1 ( direction Kagran) to the Donau Insel stop ( The Danube) when you exit the station , you are directly on the river.

To return - just reverse this route.

If you have time walk a little in the city center look at the sights, perhaps eat something.

A quick trip - but you see what you wanted.
