Change of Tourist Shifts, Ski World Championship and Concerts at Wiener Stadthalle Cause Traffic Jams on the Weekend

The students in Upper Austria and Styria are starting their semester break, as are their peers in Saxony and regions of France. In contrast, students from Carinthia, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Burgenland, as well as from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, are returning to school. At the same time, the finale of the Alpine Ski World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm and three events at the Vienna Stadthalle are leading to an increase in traffic volume.

Third Holiday Shift Change Causes Traffic Jams Here on the Weekend

The most important travel day will, as usual, be Saturday. Significant traffic jams are expected, especially until the afternoon, on the following routes, the so-called "classics":

Traffic Jams Due to Ski World Championship Finale in Saalbach on the Weekend

The Ski World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm is approaching a spectacular conclusion with the giant slalom on February 13 and 14, and the slalom on the weekend, February 15 and 16. Delays are expected, especially on Saturday, on the Pinzgauer Straße (B311), the Hochkönigstraße (B164), and the Glemmtal Landesstraße (L111) during the arrival and departure to and from the Glemmtal. The change of holiday guests will further impact this situation. The ARBÖ recommends: "Travel early and, if possible, use public transport. Drivers should ideally park their vehicles at the designated large parking lot in Maishofen. From there, a free shuttle bus takes you to the fan zone. Publicly, you can travel by train to Maishofen station, from where there are also free shuttle buses to the fan zone."

Three Events at the Vienna Stadthalle Cause Traffic Jams on the Weekend

This week, three concerts are taking place in Hall F of the Vienna Stadthalle. On February 12, "The Lion King, the music live in concert" opens the series and delights with Elton John's songs from the film. At "The Musical Story of Elvis!" on February 13, visitors can enjoy the greatest hits of the "King of Rock n Roll." The finale on February 14 offers a special event for Wolfgang Petry fans. In an impressive show, Schlager fans have the opportunity to virtually relive his 1999 concert. Drivers should therefore expect increased traffic around the Vienna Stadthalle, especially on Hütteldorfer Straße, Neubaugürtel, and the streets in the Nibelungenviertel. The ARBÖ information service recommends traveling by public transport. "The Stadthalle is very well accessible by public transport: therefore, use the Wiener Linien for your journey. The U6 subway line, tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49, as well as bus line 48A, stop in the immediate vicinity."
