Location of the Conference Site

The conference will take place in Prechtlsaal at the ground floor of the main building of the Technische Universität Wien.

The address is:
Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Wien

You can get there by taking the underground lines U1 (red), U2 (violet), or U4 (green) to the station Karlsplatz and leaving the station via the exit Resselpark. Walk straight through the park until you see a white building on the left with memorials in front of it.

Public transport in Wien

Public transport is very efficient in Wien. A VOR ticket gives you unlimited access to all public transport in the city area of Wien (this includes the area around the TU - where the Conference takes place). Tickets are sold at various places, including ticket-machines, which are located in every subway station (working all the time, as long as the subway lines are open). There are many kinds of tickets, trying to give people as much flexibility as possible. The most advisable is a whole-week ticket. Several possibilities are:

Ordinary Ticket [FAHRSCHEIN] One hour (from the moment of stamping). 1.80
Daily Ticket [EINKAUFSKARTE] From 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. (no matter when stamped). NOT VALID ON SUNDAYS. 4.60
24 Hrs. Ticket [24 STUNDEN - KARTE] 24 hours from the moment of stamping 5.70

How to get to Technische Universität Wien

Landstrasse station is only 2 subway stations away from Karlsplatz - take the subway line U4 - Direction HÜTTELDORF.
  • From Westbahnhof: Take the subway line U3 - Direction Simmering to Stephansplatz, then the subway line U1 - Direction Reumannplatz to Karlsplatz.
  • From Südbahnhof: Take the tram line D to Kärntner Ring, Oper. From there, you can walk 3-4 minutes through the subway area to Karlsplatz.
