Had no idea THIS is the main station.

Most of this station- ticket sales and food court is underground. So it's a little deceiving when walking up to it and only seeing the tracks. There is an OBB office and business class lounge here. I recommend staying towards the center underground in the winter while waiting on your train. The chilly wind comes down the steps quickly. This station connects underground with the U6 and several Rapid trains.

It is of course very practical station and function very well, i use it every day and also i go to the airport from here. There is also the BILLA inside which is open 7 days a week and well as many other stores. It offers a lot to anyone who travels through here. BUT it is homeless central here and you do need to walk past and through a lot of homeless and drunk people to get inside and past a HUG thick wall of smoke to get inside. The outside of the station is almost always dirty and makes me want to puke when walking though it, but the inside is normally clean. Therefore i have many mixed feelings regarding this station.
