Hey,

Since there are a lot of people coming to the meeting. I presume there will be many questions.
That's why opened up this topic... Shoot your questions, and I bet there will be people from Vienna answering your questions.

These are some great links for fellow travellers:

Wien.info
Wikipedia: Vienna
Vienna Metro

About the trip to Bratislava: Which means of transportation are we going to use (bus, train?) and where's the trip's starting point in Vienna? (just asking since I haven't booked my hotel yet, so there's still time to find one, if only I knew where to head.)

Hi,

Agenda for Friday should be online be end of the week...

SPOILER!!!
We will use the train, departing from Wien Südbahnhof (Wiedner Gürtel 1, 1100 Wien). I think the train is leaving about 09:30, so we will start to meet at around 08:30...
/SPOILER!!!

See you in Vienna,
Burky

I have a question.

I will arrive on wednesday in Vienna in the morning and I will leave on monday evening. I was thinking of buying myself a metroticket such as weeklypass combined single ticket on monday.

Can I use those tickets as well to get from the airport to the hotel and back or do I need special tickets for that?

Thanks

No, you need a special ticket for the train between the airport and Wien-Mitte : it's called the CAT, and it costs 16€ for an adult for a return ticket.

Then you buy a weeklypass or a dau-pass or a three days pass...

You may also take the S Bahn from the airport; a lot cheaper than the tourist trap called CAT, and it only takes moderately longer.

So those S-Bahn tickets are an extra or can I use the weekpass?
