...a reasonable distance away from Vienna city centre. This gives the impression that it is also hard to get to. In fact the public transport options are very good indeed, with a regular bus service from Westbahnhof, via the Südbahnhof and to the city centre (Buses leave from what is called the "City Air Terminal" - located next to Wien Mitte) and they cost a very reasonable ATS70 (GBP3.50) one way which takes about 35-40 minutes. Alternatively there ... ...which takes you direct to the airport. It costs ATS38 for a single out to the airport by train.
The shopping at Schwechat is not outstanding, but a lot of European Airport's has felt less need to have a good shopping provision with the removal of duty free within the EU, although there is a very good Hugo Boss outlet, where I managed to get a cashmere scarf that was reduced by 75%. There are plenty of bars and restaurants and plenty of seating, ...

Vienna was the first international airport I flew into (when I was 8), and the last one I flew out of (when I was 19). In between though, I’ve used 10 or 11 others for arrivals and departures, so I do have something with which to compare it.

Any info needed can be obtained from these two websites: www.a1ring.at or www.gpt.at/dgp2002.htm
The latter has an English link, it is possible to order tickets which range from EUR 15 (for a kid on Friday) to EUR 370 for the top seats with video screens on race day. A map displays the different seats and if you want my recommendation which to pick: the best view is from the stands across the pits and from the covered seats of the fast Goesser turn in the northwest corner of the A1Ring.
There is also info on how to get there by plane (GRZ or VIE airports), train and car. From Graz it is just an hours drive but if you happen to drive down the 200 km from Vienna on Sunday you are well advised to start early as congestions are expected in the Spielberg area where you...
