From Vienna to the City Center
The City Airport Train (CAT) links the airport to subway station Landstraße / Wien Mitte in 16 minutes where you can change to subway lines U3 and U4, as well as to tram and buses. If travelling on CAT, you can already check-in at the train station Wien Mitte for certain flights when departing from Vienna. The fare is €11 for a one-way and €17 for a return trip. Have a look at the timetable. Note that tickets for underground, trams, or local buses are not included in this fare.
A standard train connection (Schnellbahn S7) between the airport and Landstraße / Wien Mitte is also available (~30 minutes, tickets €4.20 one-way, including underground and bus in Vienna). Make sure to buy “2 zones” from the vending machine. If you buy a (time-based) transit pass for the city of Vienna at the same time, you only need “1 zone” (€2.10) to enter the city. Have a look at the timetable.
