Most convenient is the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (8 €, buy ticket from driver).

The 'City Airport Train' (CAT) is a few minutes faster than the S-Bahn, but costs 10 Euros - it also ends at Wien Mitte, from where you´ll have to catch the U3 underground to Westbahnhof. The CAT ticket is NOT valid for the U3!
