Arrival

The University of Vienna is situated on the so called "Ringstraße" (Dr. Karl-Lueger-Ring 1) - next to the City Hall of Vienna and right across the Burgtheater - right in the Centre of Vienna.

By Public Transport - stop "Schottentor":

Underground: Line 2

Streetcar/Tram: Lines D, 1, 2, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44

>>Public Transportation in Vienna

By Car:

We would suggest not to travel by car to the University in Vienna. The main route to the University - the Ring - will be closed since at the EURO 2008 will be held at the same time. The best would be to get to the University by public transportation.
