Where is Designer Outlet Parndorf?
The outlet is near Parndorf in northern Burgenland, right on the A4 East Motorway between Vienna and the Hungarian border. It is about 45 kilometres from Vienna; Vienna Airport and Lake Neusiedl are close by too.
Getting there from Vienna: the options
Shuttle bus
Shuttle buses run from Vienna directly to the outlet. Check departure points and times in advance – the return is then tied to the timetable.
Regional train
Regional trains stop in Parndorf. From the station it is still some way to the outlet, though – not ideal with lots of shopping bags on the way back.
Car
By car you are flexible, and there is plenty of parking on site. At weekends, on public holidays and before Christmas, however, the A4 is often very busy.
Private transfer
With the Parndorf transfer you are collected at your Vienna address or the airport and taken straight to the entrance. You choose the return: a fixed time or flexible by arrangement.
Comparing the options
| Option | Pickup | Return | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shuttle bus | fixed departure points | by timetable | Solo travellers with little luggage |
| Regional train | Station | by timetable, walk | Rail travellers without big purchases |
| Car | on your own | flexible | Self-drivers |
| Private transfer | Your address or the airport | fixed time or flexible | Couples, families, lots of shopping |
Tips for your shopping day
- Weekdays are quieter than Saturdays, public holidays or the run-up to Christmas.
- Plan for space: estimate how many bags you will have – it helps choose the vehicle.
- Tax-free: travellers resident outside the EU can reclaim VAT under certain conditions. Ask on site.
- Check opening hours: they can differ on public holidays.
Combining Parndorf
Parndorf is well placed for combinations: straight to the outlet after landing at Vienna Airport, on the way to Bratislava, or with a detour to Lake Neusiedl. With a private transfer you agree stopovers in advance.
