Vienna inaugurated yesterday a new subway line extension, guaranteeing a faster transit from the city centre to the stadium, less than a month before the start of the European football championships.
The U2 line will now travel in just 14 minutes from the opera along the Ring boulevard, which will welcome the fan mile during the Euro, all the way to the Ernst Happel stadium, where several matches including the final will be played during the championships which will run from June 7-29.
The inauguration is the final touch to Vienna's efforts to retrofit its infrastucture in preparation for the tournament.
Euro 2008 is being jointly hosted by Switzerland and Austria.
