VIENNAMAJOR SIGHTS AND HOW TO GET THERE

VIENNAMajor sights and how to get there

Historic Centre of Vienna

Quoting from the document which the made the Historic Centre of Vienna a UNESCO World Heritage Site: “The urban and architectural qualities ... bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Three key periods of European cultural and political develop-ment – the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit – are excep-tionally well illustrated.” In other words: Vienna’s city centre is a lively mixture of the best.

The quickest way from our venue to the city centre:Take the U3 underground line (direction Ottakring) from Enkplatz underground station - and get off at Stephansplatz un-derground station. It takes you 11 mins.

Zentralfriedhof

You will never get closer to Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, the Strauss family and other personalities from Vienna’s past. The Zentralfriedhof with its impressive Jugend-stil cemetery church is one of Europe’s largest graveyards and linked to the city’s sometimes morbid side, as the wicked saying goes: “In Vienna, you have to die first before they celebrate your life”.

From our venue it’s only a 10 min tram ride to Zentralfriedhof:Take the 6 tram line (direction Zentralfried-hof 2. Tor) or the 71 tram line (direction Zentralfriedhof 3. Tor) - both depart at Enk-platz underground station - and get off at Zentralfriedhof 2. Tor at the cemetery’s main entrance.

Simply turn on the tap and enjoy mountain spring water? It‘s pos-sible in Vienna. Vienna’s water flows from the mountain springs in the Styrian and Lower Austrian Alps, reaching the Austrian capital city 36 hours later, without pumps and under the strictest regula-tions. A positive side-effect of this is that on its way to the city, the water flows through hydroelectric power stations, which generates 65 million kilowatt hours of power, or enough for a small town. In 2001, Vienna was even the first city in the world to place the „White Gold“ under the protection of its constitution.

The Viennese are very proud of their tap water and so are we: This year, instead of a T-shirt you will get a reusable water bottle as a little souvenir of your time in Vienna. This not only makes it possi-ble to enjoy the mountain spring water anytime and anywhere, it also helps to keep laptops and other devices safe from water glass incidents on the hacking tables. Just remember to mark your bottle with one of the name tags we provide, so you will always find your personal bottle again :-)
