Handball fever in Vienna: Transport chaos threatens this weekend!

Wien, Österreich - A upcoming major event in Vienna causes considerable traffic problems: The European Handball Championship begins on December 5 and moves thousands of fans into the city by December 15, 2024. According to the ARBÖ, the games in the Wiener Stadthalle will almost take the streets around the event to a standstill. Previous experiences show that drivers should adjust to the first traffic jams from 9:00 a.m., especially on Altmannsdorfer Straße, which is traditionally affected, as well as fighting for parking spaces. The Hütteldorfer Straße and the new building belt will also lead to bottlenecks, according to the traffic experts.

In addition to the disorders by the handball European Championship, the second Advent Saturday is just around the corner, which could further tighten the traffic jams in the shopping streets and on the access routes to the shopping centers. Traffic delays on the Südautobahn (A2) between the Wiener city limits and Wiener Neudorf as well as on the Southeast Tangent (A23) are also to be expected, while inner-city traffic will be particularly impaired on the belt, the 2-line line and the ring. The traffic information from ÖAMTC confirms that daily delays around the town hall can be expected between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., with up to 8,000 fans that will fill every region of the Münchfeld. ÖAMTC therefore urgently advises to use public transport to facilitate the journey and bypass the traffic jam. This can make a decisive difference to arrive more stress -free, while the traffic in the city center remains tense.

The Wiener Stadthalle will be an attraction for international handball fans during this time and could be one of the last occasions to experience high -class sport live. The city administration and traffic authorities are already active in planning to optimally manage the hoped -for crowds, but the traffic chaos is inevitable, as the current developments and forecasts show. Drivers should prepare for significant waiting times and plan their routes accordingly to get to the events on time.
