Vienna to Delhi Flights

Tips for travellers from India

Wien Mitte is convenient for the City Airport Train and S-Bahn approach, while Hauptbahnhof is a better base for some onward rail trips. The historic centre around Stephansplatz suits a stay focused on cathedral streets and central museums, but may need another local connection after the airport train. Choose the station for the hotel rather than assuming every rail service reaches the same central terminus.

Air India uses Terminal 3, with its counters in the departure hall. The City Airport Train reaches Wien Mitte directly, while other rail options serve different stations and fare arrangements. Schönbrunn lies outside the old-town walking circuit and deserves a separate palace visit; its grounds and ticketed interiors are different parts of that outing. The Belvedere is another palace-museum complex and should be selected for its collection rather than treated as an extension of Schönbrunn. Naschmarkt fits a route through the districts southwest of the centre and provides a food stop between nearby visits. Around Stephansplatz, narrow streets make walking more useful than repeatedly entering the metro for a single stop. If continuing to another Austrian city, return to the station shown on the intercity ticket, which may be Hauptbahnhof rather than Wien Mitte. The two names describe different transport roles within the capital.

What's new in Delhi

• October 2025: The rebuilt Terminal 2 at Indira Gandhi International Airport reopened on 26 October 2025 after a closure that began in April 2025, and a share of IndiGo and Air India domestic flights moved into it. Check the terminal printed on the boarding pass before leaving for the airport.
• February 2026: The full 82 km Namo Bharat regional rail corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram in Meerut was inaugurated on 22 February 2026, giving south-east Delhi a fast rail link to Ghaziabad and Meerut.
• June 2026: Noida International Airport at Jewar (DXN) began scheduled flights on 15 June 2026, with IndiGo operating the first service. For some domestic routes it is a practical alternative for travellers based in Noida and Greater Noida.

Tips for travellers

For a two or three day stay, Connaught Place, Paharganj and Karol Bagh sit on the Blue and Yellow metro lines, while Aerocity suits early departures because it is next to the airport. The Delhi Metro is the quickest way across the city, and a smart card or a QR ticket bought on a phone saves time at the counters. October to March is the main sightseeing season, though smog can be heavy in November, and Diwali week fills hotels and trains. May and June are extremely hot.

The Red Fort is closed on Mondays. At Jama Masjid and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, remove your shoes and cover your shoulders and legs; the gurudwara also asks everyone to cover their head and lends scarves at the entrance. Swaminarayan Akshardham does not allow phones or cameras inside, so leave them in the cloakroom or at the hotel.
