Vienna Meetings and Events

I will be in Vienna (Stockerau actually) from the 24th to the 27th of August.

If anyone wants to join for drinks and/or dinner in Vienna, I would be really happy. Maybe the locals have an idea for a "Hotspot"? If not, I will activate my colleagues in Vienna and post a location the week before.

So how about the 25th of August?

Ciao
Ina



Update August 10th:

I have opted for the Schweizerhaus in the Prater as it is easy to reach from all parts of Vienna. Hopefully the weather is decent so we can sit outside. I will put up a sign with VT written on it.
So, don't be shy and join us ... jumpingnorman wants a jumping VTer picture, so the more the merrier!

Meeting time 8 p.m.
Reservation is made with my nick name INA

UPDATE August 23rd:
The Schweizerhaus does not accept reservations after 7 p.m. I will set up a sign with VT Meet on the table (hopefully in the garden area). Just in case I have sent you a mail with my mobile phone number.

See you soon!

My fellow travelers!

Tomorrow i will arrive in Vienna. Sunday i want to plan a meeting with a start at 19.00 o clock at Wombats BASE City Hostel. Just to know some members, and chat with each other. After our meeting at the bar at Wombats, we can go wherever we agree to go. We can go to a pub or discotheque, or do some activities. Most important is that the evening will be fun!

Who wants to come?

Take U3 and get out at station Rochusmarkt. There you walk to the side of the market that is closest to the city-centre. Salmgasse starts at this end of Rochusmarkt.

Why not making a break in Vienna on your way to the Euro-meeting2010 in Krakow ?
There are cheap flights to Vienna and even cheaper to Bratislava (with excellent bus-connection to Vienna)
From Vienna to Krakow there is a good train-connection, including nighttrains.

I have scheduled a full week here, but of course you can come as well for just 1-2 days before you move to Krakow
I am planning tours through Vienna
excursion to Wachau (Danube-valley with Melk, Duernstein, Krems)
daytrip to Bratislava, can be done easily by train

Lets meet at Karlsplatz and take a look into the museum there for some great paintings of Klimt & Schiele.
Afterwards we take the tram and do also a bit of walking in order to get to Hermesvilla, a small palace in the outskirts of Vienna. It was the favorite palace of empress Sissi.
All of the places we are visiting today are free every sunday, so all that you need is a ticket for the trams.

Lets take the train to Melk in order to visit the great monastery
Then we take the ship to Duernstein where we will spend some time walking around, tasting the local wine
then we will take the train to Krems, where we can walk a bit through the great town before we return to Vienna

Lets make a daytrip to Bratislava by train.
The ticket is around 14 euros and includes all trams and buses in Bratislava
Trains are leaving each hour from Vienna and Bratislava

Of course you can take as well the twincity-cruiser, but you need to reserve and it is around 38 euros one way
