Nova Rock 2025: ÖAMTC Provides Travel Tips

As experience shows, many visitors arrive as early as Wednesday. The direct access is via the A4 and the Nickelsdorf exit. In case of heavy traffic, a detour via the Mönchhof exit may occur. Road users are advised to switch to the right lane early to avoid risky lane changes. Traffic jams cannot be ruled out, especially on arrival days.
No Direct Access for Drop-off and Pick-up Services
Those who wish to drop off or pick up people at the festival cannot drive directly to the festival grounds. Instead, a drop-off and pick-up area ("Kiss and Ride") is available at the Nickelsdorf sports field. Shuttle buses run from there directly to the main entrance of the grounds. A dedicated taxi stand is set up shortly before the grounds for taxis and ride services like Uber. Fixed prices apply only to appropriately marked vehicles.
Recommendation: Use Public Transport
To ease the burden on access roads, it is recommended to travel by public transport. Special festival trains run non-stop between Vienna Meidling and Nickelsdorf. Additionally, there are bus connections from numerous cities. On-site, shuttle buses ensure transfer between Nickelsdorf train station, the town center, and the festival grounds.
Behavior on Access Roads
Visitors are requested to follow the instructions of the security personnel. Access routes for emergency vehicles and supply services must always be kept clear. Increased traffic density and occasional waiting times are also to be expected on the access roads.
Practical Tips for Preparation
To avoid unnecessary delays on the way home, some simple precautions should be taken:
- Energieverbrauch im Auto minimieren, z. B. durch zeitweises Abschalten von Kühlboxen oder Klimaanlagen.
- Parkplatz merken: Am besten die GPS-Koordinaten speichern oder ein Foto machen.
- Zweitschlüssel mitführen und getrennt aufbewahren – das Fahrzeug lässt sich im Fall eines Verlusts sonst nicht mehr starten.
- Wertgegenstände und Schlüssel gut sichern.
