Vienna Airport Terminals
The airport has four terminal buildings, Terminals 1, 2 and 3, and Terminal 1A, a small building located opposite Terminal 1, all separated into four levels. From Terminal 1, you can reach Gates B, C and D and from Terminal 3 you can reach Gates F and G. The Arrivals Hall for all terminal areas is located on Level 0 of Terminal 3.
The terminals are all directly connected; however, the layout is generally a bit confusing. Just follow the signs to your terminal to avoid getting lost. Terminal 3’s departure gates are spread out over the levels, whereas the departure gates in Terminals 1, 1A and 2 are all on Level 1, sharing the shopping plaza and the general departure area.
All four terminals have essential amenities and facilities such as toilets, charging points, baby changing facilities, ATMs, information desks and more. There’s also a charming visitor’s deck on Level 4.
