Traffic Alert on the Weekend: End of Holidays, Events, and All Saints' Day Cause Busy Roads
Additionally, four concerts at the Wiener Stadthalle (Yungblud, Andreas Gabalier, the Schlager Night of the Year 2025, and Il Volo), the All Saints' Day traffic, as well as the Bundesliga match SK Rapid against Sturm Graz at the Wiener Allianz Stadium will lead to crowded streets.
End of Autumn Holidays Causes Traffic Jams
This coming weekend, the autumn holidays will end not only in all nine Austrian federal states but also in five German states, including Baden-Württemberg and Berlin. According to ARBÖ, this means traffic jams over the weekend. The classic main travel day will once again be Saturday. However, delays are also expected on Friday afternoon and Sunday. The areas particularly affected will be:
· the Brenner Motorway (A13) before the Schönberg toll station and in the construction areas
· the West Motorway (A1) in the greater Salzburg area
· the Pyhrn Motorway (A9) before the Klaus tunnel chain as well as in the area of the Bosruck and Gleinalm tunnels
· the Tauern Motorway (A10) between the Salzburg junction and Hallein as well as before the tunnel portals between Golling and Pass Lueg, before the Tauern and Katschberg tunnels, and in the greater Villach area
· the Inntal Motorway (A12) at the Kufstein/Kiefersfelden border as well as in the greater Innsbruck area
· the Brenner Motorway (A13) between Innsbruck and the Schönberg toll station as well as in the construction area at the Lueg Bridge
· the Fernpass Road (B179) along the entire route with possible block handling before the Vils/Füssen border tunnel and the Lermoos tunnel
Drivers should also bring patience on Sunday at the city entrances, such as Altmannsdorfer Straße and Triester Straße in Vienna, the Ebelsberg bypass and the B139 in Linz, as well as Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße and Plüddemanngasse in Graz.
"All Saints' Day" and "All Souls' Day" Bring Crowds to Cemeteries
All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day are considered central days of remembrance for the dead in Austria. Many visit the graves of relatives and friends and decorate them with flowers, arrangements, or wreaths. There is good news for motorized cemetery visitors: Since both days fall on a weekend, the short-term parking zone regulation in Vienna does not apply. However, it is important to note: "Attention! Local short-term parking zones may exist, but they are signposted. Also, stopping and parking bans are not lifted on the weekend," warns the ARBÖ information service.
In Vienna, entering the cemeteries on All Saints' Day is generally not allowed. At the Central Cemetery, as every year, there are exceptions for people with disabilities. ARBÖ recommends traveling by public transport, especially in the federal capital and state capitals.
Yungblud, Andreas Gabalier, the Schlager Night of the Year 2025, and Il Volo Fill the Vienna Stadthalle
This week, there is a lot going on at the Vienna Stadthalle: On four days, Hall D becomes a concert stage. The opening act is Yungblud on 29.10, who presents a powerful live show as part of his "Idols" tour. On 31.10, the folk rock'n'roller Andreas Gabalier will sing "A Liad fia di" as part of his "Ein Hulapalu auf uns" tour, delighting his fans. Schlager fans will get their money's worth on 1.11: DJ Ötzi, Matthias Reim, Ross Antony, and Michelle will bring atmosphere to the Stadthalle at the "Schlager Night of the Year 2025." The concert series concludes on 2.11 with the Italian trio Il Volo, whose "Belcanto" voices will give you goosebumps.
Many visitors will travel by car. According to the ARBÖ information service, delays are therefore expected, especially on Neubaugürtel, in Hütteldorfer Straße, and in the streets of the Nibelungenviertel. Parking is available in the Märzpark and Stadthalle garages. ARBÖ recommends traveling by public transport: The Stadthalle is well accessible with the U6, tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49, as well as bus line 48A.
Bundesliga Match at Vienna Allianz Stadium Means Increased Traffic
On Sunday, 02.11.2025, SK Rapid Wien will face Sturm Graz in a Bundesliga match. A sold-out game is expected. Traffic jams should also be expected before the game starts at 17:00 and after the final whistle. The Deutschordenstraße, Hadikgasse, Keißlergasse, and Linzer Straße will be particularly affected. "The Allianz Stadium is very well accessible by public transport with the U-Bahn line U4, tram lines 49 and 52, S-Bahn lines S45, S50, and S80, as well as various bus lines, ÖBB, and Westbahn," according to the ARBÖ information service.
