Football and "GameCity": Here are the Traffic Jams in Vienna This Weekend

The World Cup qualifier match against San Marino will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 8:45 PM. Over 30,000 fans are expected at the stadium, which will affect evening traffic in the capital. The Stadionallee could be closed from 6:30 PM. Traffic jams are expected early in the evening on Meiereistraße, Handelskai, around the Prater junction, and at the on and off ramps of the A23.

ARBÖ recommends traveling to the World Cup qualifier in Vienna by public transport

Due to ongoing construction work on the A23, additional delays are expected. The ARBÖ advises traveling with the U-Bahn lines U2 to the Stadion station or U3 to the Schlachthausgasse station, followed by a transfer to bus 77A. For drivers, park-and-ride facilities of the U-Bahn lines in Aderklaa (U1), Donaustadtbrücke (U2), Erdberg (U3), Hütteldorf (U4), Leopoldau (U1), Oberlaa (U1), Ottakring (U3), or Siebenhirten (U6/S-Bahn) are available. "Those traveling by car should be on site in good time to avoid missing the kickoff," says ARBÖ traffic expert Thomas Haider.

Game City causes delays in Vienna

From Friday to Sunday, the Vienna town hall will be transformed into a paradise for gaming fans by Game City. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected, interested in the latest gaming trends, eSports tournaments, and cosplay events. On all event days, high pedestrian traffic and heavy arrival and departure traffic are expected around the town hall. Particularly affected are the Ringstraße, Universitätsstraße, and Zweierlinie.

The ARBÖ recommends traveling with the U-Bahn lines U2 (Rathaus station) and U3 (Volkstheater station). "Especially on Saturday and Sunday, a high visitor frequency is expected. Parking spaces around the town hall are scarce anyway. Additionally, from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM, a general short-term parking zone applies, limiting parking duration to two hours. Those who can should leave the car behind. Those who cannot should resort to parking garages like the Rathausgarage, Votivparkgarage, or Rathausquartier-Parkgarage," recommends ARBÖ traffic expert Haider.
