REX7 trainorS7 train?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The REX7 train reaches Wien Hauptbahnhof and the Ringstrasse beyond it; the S7 train does not. Until the Stammstrecke reopens on 31 October 2027 the S7 stops at Wien St. Marx and does NOT reach Wien Mitte. St. Marx is a tram ride short of the middle — trams 18 and 71 run from it — so add that leg before comparing it with the REX7.

The S7 train is quicker: 18 min against 20 min.

REX7 train: 04:46–01:46. S7 train: 03:49–01:19.

It reaches Wien Hauptbahnhof in 20 minutes for EUR 5.50, against the CAT's 21 minutes to Wien Mitte for EUR 14.90 — and the CAT is currently a bus.

It is the last thing out of the airport at 01:46, and nothing follows until 03:49.

Buy a ticket that covers the airport AND the Vienna core zone. A city ticket is not valid to the airport, and the airport-only ticket stops at the edge of the core zone.

It no longer reaches Wien Mitte. The line closure diverted it to Wien St. Marx until 31 October 2027, and every guide written before September 2026 says otherwise.

It is the earliest departure of the day at 03:49, which is why it is here at all.
