Travel by train (ÖBB, westbahn)
Participants travel to Vienna comfortably and environmentally friendly by train. Numerous international and national train connections enable easy and quick travel from all over Europe. The timetables can be found at www.oebb.at and www.westbahn.at.

Travel by car
Tolls are compulsory on Austria’s very well-developed highway network, so you also need a vignette for Vienna’s city highways. Once in Vienna, the Wiener Linien is a convenient means of transportation.

Arrival by plane
Its central location in Europe makes Vienna an important hub for international air traffic and offers optimal transport connections from all over the world. Most European capitals are only two to three hours away by plane. Austrian Airlines, Vienna’s “Official Carrier”, guarantees ideal connections. Vienna Airport is perfectly connected to the transport network: by CAT (City Airport Train, 16 minutes non-stop) or by public transport (train, S-train, bus) it is easy to get to the center of Vienna.

On site with Wiener Linien
The Wiener Linien network provides excellent public transportation. Wiener Linien takes visitors to their destination reliably and at short intervals by subway, streetcar and bus. You can find the timetables at www.wienerlinien.at You can also take a leisurely walk or ride through the urban jungle on a WienMobil rental bike. You can find rental bikes at www.wienerlinien.at/wienmobil/rad

Accommodation on site
The Novotel Wien Hauptbahnhof**** offers 266 modern rooms and suites and is the “place to be” if you want to immerse yourself directly in the congress action. For those on a lighter budget, the adjoining 3-star Hotel Ibis Wien Hauptbahnhof offers affordable room rates and is just as close to the congress location. In general, there are around 400 hotels, guesthouses and apartments available to you in the congress city of Vienna: from luxurious to casual, from magnificent inner-city palaces to ultra-modern wooden high-rises and from Austrian family businesses to international hotel chains: please book your accommodation in Vienna either directly at the hotel or via www.wien.info or via the relevant platforms on the Internet.
