We regularly serve KARLSKIRCHE — the Baroque Basilica of St. Charles Borromeo (1716-1737) commissioned by Emperor Charles VI after the plague of 1713 (designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, a masterpiece of late Baroque with two 33-metre Trajan-style columns carrying reliefs from the life of St. Charles), and the NASCHMARKT — the largest market in Vienna covering over 23,000 m² with 120 stalls of fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, and ethnic specialities (operating since the 16th century, on the present site along the former Wien River bed since 1819, the Saturday Flohmarkt gathering 400 antiques stalls). Frequent destinations also include the SECESSION PAVILION (1898, Olbrich's pavilion, an emblem of the Vienna Secession with Gustav Klimt's 1902 "Beethoven Frieze", a 34-metre frieze dedicated to Beethoven's 9th Symphony), the Wiener Musikverein (1870, the Golden Hall of the Wiener Philharmoniker, host of the New Year's Concert broadcast to 100 countries), Theresianum (a Jesuit college from 1746, today one of the most prestigious schools in Austria), TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology, 1815, on Karlsplatz) and hotels around Schwarzenbergplatz.
Wieden requires familiarity with the layout of Karlsplatz — one of the most important squares in Vienna with three metro stations (U1, U2, U4), Karlskirche, the Secession Pavilion, TU Wien and Resselpark. The Naschmarkt stretches along Wienzeile (Linke Wienzeile and Rechte Wienzeile) — the chauffeur drives to the specific entrance (the market is 600 m long, so it matters whether you want the east or west end). During morning (07:30-09:30) and afternoon (16:30-18:30) peaks, Wiedner Hauptstrasse and Schwarzenbergplatz are congested with business traffic. Karlskirche has its own car park on Karlsplatz.
This route works well for Naschmarkt foodies (Saturday Flohmarkt antiques, Turkish and Middle Eastern ethnic stalls, fish restaurants, the Tewa vegetarian shop, the classic Naschmarkt Deli), Viennese Secession connoisseurs (Olbrich's pavilion with Klimt's "Beethoven Frieze" — a must-see for any Wiener Moderne enthusiast), Wiener Musikverein audiences (the Golden Hall, the world's premier classical concert venue, host of the New Year's Concert), TU Wien event participants and guests of hotels around Karlsplatz and Schwarzenbergplatz (Hilton Vienna, InterContinental). We operate 24/7. The fare is fixed and confirmed before travel; flight tracking, arrivals pickup with a name board and 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included. Payment is completed online by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or BLIK. Child seats, boosters and larger luggage space can be prepared on request.
