Travel to Vienna

As the Conference is a "Green Event" we suggest using public transportation for getting to and around Vienna. Also, public transportation works very well in Vienna ( App: Wienmobil) whereas traffic on the street can become very busy during the day and parking is restricted.

This event will be organized in accordance with the criteria of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings and Events!

Arriving on foot:

The venue is centrally located, within walking distance from many hotels.

Cycling can also be a good way to travel the distance between hotel and event location. There is a bicycle parking facility with sufficient spaces in the immediate vicinity.

There are two main stations in Vienna from where the Conference Venue is easily reachable by subway:

• Railway Station “Wien Hauptbahnhof”: Take subway U1 (direction Leopoldau) to station “Karlsplatz”.
• Railway Station “Wien Westbahnhof”: Take subway U3 (direction Simmering) to station “Volkstheater”.

By Plane:

The Vienna Airport (VIE) is located near Schwechat and offers direct flights from many destinations. Travel to the city takes about half an hour with the following options:

• Local “Schnellbahn” (S7) trains run at intervals of 30 minutes and the ride to the station “Wien Mitte/Landstraße” (connections to U3 and U4) takes about 25 minutes.
• InterCity & Railjet trains run at intervals of approximately 30 minutes and the ride to the main station “Wien Hauptbahnhof” (connection to U1) takes about 20 minutes
• City Airport Train (CAT) runs at intervals of 30 minutes and takes you to the station “Wien Mitte/Landstraße” (connections to U3 and U4) without intermediate stops in 16 minutes.
• Bus lines offer rides to station “Schwedenplatz” (about 20 minute ride, connection to U1 and U4) or the main station “Wien Hauptbahnhof” (about 25 minute ride, connection to U1).
• Taxi: the ride takes approximately 20 minutes to the city center (outside of rush hours)

Alternatively, the small Bratislava Airport (BTS) is also only 60 Kilometers away and offers bus transport to Vienna (Flixbus).

By Car:

The conference venue is conveniently located along one of the main transit routes through Vienna. However, traffic during the day can be very busy and parking on the street is limited to 90 minutes throughout the whole city (parking fee 2.60€ per hour). If you are arriving by car we suggest to book a hotel with parking and use public transportation inside the city. If you need to take your car to the venue, you need to park at one of the nearby parking garages (WIPARK TU Lehargasse or Contipark Museumsquartier)
