ARBÖ warns of traffic jams due to Vienna Comic Con, concert, and Christmas markets in Vienna

The Vienna Comic Con celebrates its tenth anniversary on November 22 and 23, attracting not only numerous international stars but also many visitors. At the same time, the concert of the band Electric Callboy will take place on Saturday evening at the Wiener Stadthalle. The heavily frequented Christmas markets will also contribute to increased traffic congestion.

Vienna Comic Con 2025: Numerous International Guests for 10th Anniversary in Vienna

This year, the Vienna Comic Con is attracting many international stars. Expected attendees include Elijah Wood, Brian Krause, Clive Standen, Craig Parker, Josh Herdmann, Jessica Szohr, Kevin McNelly, Peter Williams, Manu Bennett, Lucy Martin, Ross Marquand, Ariderion, Bellatrix Aiden, Gehe, Sai Westwood, LazerLiz, Shunsuke, Sweet Angel, Timber Cosplay, and Yaya Han. Due to the anniversary, a particularly high number of visitors is expected. Traffic jams are especially anticipated in the area of the exhibition grounds in Leopoldstadt. Parking is available at Parking Garage A on Nordportalstraße 172. Resident parking spaces must not be used, as fines may be imposed. ARBÖ recommends traveling by public transport, with the U2 being particularly suitable as it stops directly at the exhibition grounds.

Electric Callboy Concert at Wiener Stadthalle

The Wiener Stadthalle will also be heavily frequented on Saturday, November 22. Electric Callboy will perform in Hall D as part of their Tanzneid World Tour, with the concert starting at 7 PM. Expected hits include Hypa Hypa, We Got the Moves, Pump It, and Hymn of the Falling Man. Additionally, the band is expected to perform their new single Tanzneid live for the first time. Increased traffic is expected before and after the concert. Particularly affected areas include Neubaugürtel, Hütteldorfer Straße, parts of the Nibelungenviertel, and the surrounding streets. It is important to note that resident parking spaces must not be used. Alternatively, the Stadthalle garage, the parking garages of Lugner City, and those at Westbahnhof are available. The Stadthalle is easily accessible by public transport via the U6, trams 6, 9, 18, and 49, as well as bus line 48A.

Christmas Markets in Vienna Cause Traffic Disruptions

The already opened Christmas markets are also causing heavy traffic. Particularly well-attended are the Vienna Christmas Market at Rathausplatz and the markets at Schönbrunn Palace, the Old AKH, and Spittelberg. In the vicinity of these markets, one must expect traffic jams, overcrowded parking lots, and heavy pedestrian traffic. ARBÖ advises traveling by public transport. Anyone consuming a hot beverage should definitely refrain from drinking and driving. The ARBÖ traffic service and ORF Teletext, which also uses ARBÖ reports, provide continuously updated information on traffic jams, closures, and construction sites.
