Trade Fairs and "Holiday on Ice" Cause Traffic Jams in Vienna and Lower Austria

We are in the middle of the ski season. With good weather, there will be a rush to the ski areas again towards the weekend. This will also cause traffic jams on the main routes leading to the areas. According to ARBÖ, the following have emerged as "classics" in recent weeks:

"HausBau + EnergySaving" Tulln Fair Brings Longer Waiting Times

From January 17th to 19th, the "HausBau + EnergySaving" fair takes place in Messe Tulln. With around 340 specialist exhibitors, there is information, useful and interesting facts on the topics of building & remodeling, living and furnishing as well as energy saving and heating technology.

As a high visitor rush is to be expected, according to ARBÖ, delays around the exhibition center cannot be avoided. This will mainly lead to more or less long traffic jams on Saturday and Sunday mornings on the Stockerau expressway (S5), before the Tulln exit, and the Tulln road (B19), between the S5 and the old Danube bridge. The Messe Tulln is also very easily accessible by public transport: Free shuttle buses to the exhibition grounds leave from the Tulln and Tullnerfeld train stations every 20 minutes.

Holiday Fair and the "Vienna Drive" Bring Holiday Feeling to Messe Wien

This year, the Holiday Fair is once again being held in Halls C and D of the Vienna Exhibition Centre from January 16 to January 19. Around 450 exhibitors are presenting the latest news and trends in travel and vacation. At the same time, the "Vienna Drive" mobility fair is taking place in Hall B, where everything related to mobility will be on display over 15,000 square meters: new models, mobility clubs, financing, accessories, and much more.

Whether there will also be a "holiday feeling" (i.e., traffic jams) around the exhibition grounds during the Holiday Fair remains to be seen. "In any case, one should expect more traffic on the Southeast Tangent (A23), before the Handelskai exit, at the Prater junction, the Exhibition Street, the Engerth Street, the Handelskai and the Praterstern as well as on the Vorgarten Street," say the ARBÖ traffic experts. Parking is available at the exhibition grounds. Visitors who want to arrive by public transport should best use the U2 subway line. The Messe-Prater and Krieau stops are right next to the exhibition center.

"Holiday on Ice" Performs at the Vienna City Hall

Fans of ice revues will certainly not be disappointed by the new "Holiday on Ice" revue "No Limits", which will be on display from January 16 to January 26 at the Vienna City Hall. Therefore, drivers should expect more traffic and some traffic jams around the Vienna City Hall, especially on Hütteldorfer Street, Neubaugürtel and the streets in the Nibelungen Quarter.

The ARBÖ advises: "Use public transport. The City Hall is very easily accessible. The U6 subway line, the tram lines 6, 9, 18 and 49 as well as the bus lines 48A stop in the immediate vicinity."
