Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from Essen to Vienna

What are the most popular stations in Essen and Vienna?

In Essen, you will usually depart from Central Station, Hafenstr. Bus Stop or Freiheit Bus Stop, while in Vienna you will be arriving at Central Station, Erdberg or Südtirolerplatz Bus Station, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Vienna from Essen? With 5 connections between 2 Bus, Flight and Train operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Essen and Vienna, you can pay as low as $48 with a Flight from Eurowings.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Bringer Air Cargo Taxi Aereo: you will get to Vienna in just 1h 35m.

Comfort makes all the difference
