Before you leave for Vienna, we would like to provide some information on transport in Vienna, early meetings, the venues, amongst others.

Schedule: every 30 minutes, last train 22.24

Road emergency:
Phone nationwide: 120 (OEAMTC), 123 (ARBOE)

Money:
It may be good to have some Austian money upon arrival for transport etc. Money changing is available on the Airport, however more costly than in banks downtown. Saturday, banks are closed however, and there are only few money changers open on weekends. Best value: cash machines.

Public Transport:
Vienna offers a fairly dense public transport system. You may use the same ticket to change from S-Bahn to U-Bahn, Tram and Bus, as long you go in one meaningful direction. For return, a new ticked is needed. Most places can be reached within the central zone. From or to the Airport Schwechat by S-Bahn is two zones.
Tickets can be obtained from most tobacconists, and from machines (taking coins and bills) at any U-Bahn stations and the platform in the Airport station. Price for one zone is ATS 19.--. It makes sense to buy a 4 of 8 zone strip.

The conference and registration venue is the Domus Universitatis of the Academy of Sciences, Sonnenfelsgasse 19, 1010 Wien (1^st District), next to its main building on Dr. Ignaz Seipel Platz. This is close to Wollzeile and Dr. Karl Lueger Platz. Next U-Bahn station is Stubentor on U 3 line (exit Wollzeile), 2 min walk, Stephansplatz U1 and U3, 5 min walk, Tram 1 and 2, Dr. Karl Lueger Platz, 3 min walk and Bus 1A (weekdays only) Wollzeile, 1 min walk.
