Prepaid parking vouchers - parking fees
Parking fees apply to double-track motor vehicles stopped or parked in a chargeable short-term parking zone. Parking fees may be paid, amongst others, by filling in a prepaid parking voucher upon placing the motor vehicle in the parking zone.
Prepaid parking vouchers (30 minutes, one hour, 1.5 hours and two hours) for chargeable short-term parking zones may be purchased at:
- tobacconists
- all points of advance sale and
- ticket machines at all Vienna public transport underground stations
- automobile clubs ARBÖ and ÖAMTC
- some petrol/gas stations
- cigarette vending machines
Free-of charge parking vouchers (ten minute vouchers) are also available at the City's main cashier's office, the City Information Bureau and the Citizens' Service (Bürgerdienst).
