Information about arriving at the VIC:
It is currently not possible to disembark the U1 at Kaisermühlen/VIC due to construction work. Wiener Linien recommend continuing to Kagran station. There is an island platform that allows for an easy change of trains to take the train going in the opposite direction, go back two stations and thus reach the VIC.
