Shopping Saturday & City Hall Events: ARBÖ Warns of Traffic Jam Weekend In and Around Vienna

On shopping Saturday, there will again be traffic jams in Vienna on Altmannsdorfer Straße heading out of the city, on the Südautobahn (A2) between the Vienna city limits and Wiener Neudorf, on the Südosttangente (A23), and the Wiener Nordbahn Schnellstraße (S2) between the Prater junction and Hermann-Gebauer-Straße. Long delays are also expected on the Gürtel, the 2er-Linie, Franz-Josefs-Kai, and the Ring. Additionally, the Innere Mariahilfer Straße will be closed to traffic from 9 AM to 7 PM, as it is every Advent Saturday. One should also plan for return traffic and the journey to the Christmas market in Schönbrunn, which will cause delays on Grünbergstraße, Hadikgasse, Linke Wienzeile, and the western entrance.

Moreover, two events will take place at the Wiener Stadthalle over the weekend: On Friday, December 12, 2025, British singer James Arthur will give a concert, and on Sunday, December 14, 2025, the football event "The Icon League - Final 6" will take place. The arrival traffic will affect Neubaugürtel, Hütteldorfer Straße, and the streets in the Nibelungenviertel. The ARBÖ recommends traveling by public transport. Around the Wiener Stadthalle, the U6 and tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49 are in operation. Those who do not want to forgo their car can use the Stadthallengarage, Lugner City-Garage, and Märzparkgarage as parking options.
