Hundreds of Thousands of Event Visitors: ARBÖ Warns of Extreme Traffic Jam Weekend in Vienna

The "Day of Sports" will be held on Saturday at Vienna's Heldenplatz. "Over 100 sports associations and clubs invite you to participate, and more than 300 athletes will be available for autographs. In previous years, the event attracted around 200,000 guests - a crowd that is also expected this year. The Ringstraße and the former Zweierlinie are particularly affected, where long delays due to high traffic volume are expected," according to the ARBÖ via press release. Increased caution in road traffic is also advised, as many visitors will be on foot or using e-scooters.

On Sunday, the anniversary tour of "Parkway Drive" will lead to Hall D of the Stadthalle Vienna. Up to 16,000 fans are expected. The concert begins at 6 PM, but traffic jams are expected around the Westbahnhof in the afternoon. The Hütteldorfer Straße, Gablenzgasse, Märzstraße, and the Neubaugürtel are usually particularly affected, according to the ARBÖ. The residential parking zones around the Stadthalle should be noted. Those arriving by car should therefore rely on parking garages. However, numerous public transport options go directly to the Vienna Stadthalle, such as the U6, tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49, as well as bus line 48A.
