Drivers risk costs of well over €400, which can include towing fees, storage fees, and possible prosecution, plus any taxi fares for the return journey.
The Automobile Club recommends that visitors to the major event Park & Ride facilities and the public transport For all road users not traveling to the Donauinselfest, the ÖAMTC recommends using the Prater Bridge (A23) or the Nordbrücke, which, however, require a toll sticker.

In addition, the ÖAMTC experts point out the current Short-term parking zone regulations in the Vienna city area. This will be in effect almost everywhere on Friday, the first day of the festival, from 9:00 a.m. to 22:00 p.m. This means that illegally parked vehicles can not only be towed away, but also face fines if they park without a valid parking ticket or outside of the permitted times. Strict adherence to parking regulations is therefore essential to avoid high costs and inconveniences.
