I think there is time, as there is many ways how to reach the center from the airport...the best is for sure the CAT (around 16 return)or the S-Bahn (around 6 euros return), check on www.oebb.at and search for connections between Airport and "Wien Mitte".
It brings you directly in the center! I would suggest a typical Viennese café which is around the corner...you can hang out a bit, enjoy some Austrian fare (Viennese breakfast or lunch+ try their sacher) and maybe walk to the st.stephan before going back to the airport! This is the café/restaurant which I'm suggesting: http://www.spottedbylocals.com/vienn...ffee-tradition

A nice alternative for going or coming back: The Postbus from the airport to Schwedenplats/Morzinplatz, down by the river, takes 20 minutes and gives you a nice walk up to (or down from) Stephansplatz, schedule at www.oebb.at/pv/busplan2009/1273.pdf
But all this is at the airport website - just use google.

We took the CAT into Vienna during our 5 hour layover. It was easy, great to walk around, and we had a great lunch. I'm so glad we did not sit in VIE for that time as the airport is pretty boring.
