The Imperial Treasury is easily accessible via Vienna's efficient public transport system. Take the U3 metro line to the Herrengasse station. From there, it's approximately an 8-minute walk to the Hofburg Palace. Alternatively, take tram lines 1, 2, D, or 71 to the Burgring stop or bus lines 1A or 2A to Michaelerplatz. From any of these stops, follow signs to the Hofburg Palace and the Schweizerhof (Swiss Courtyard), where the entrance to the Treasury is located. A single ticket for public transport within Vienna costs €2.40.

Walking
If you are already in Vienna's city center (Innere Stadt), walking to the Imperial Treasury is a pleasant option. From St. Stephen's Cathedral, walk west along Graben and then turn left onto Kohlmarkt. Continue straight until you reach Michaelerplatz. The Hofburg Palace will be on your left. Enter the palace complex and follow signs to the Schweizerhof, where the Treasury entrance is located.
-
Taxi/Ride-Share
Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available in Vienna. A short taxi ride from anywhere in the Innere Stadt to the Hofburg Palace will typically cost between €8 and €15, depending on traffic and distance.
