Main conference venue:
Helene-Richter-Saal (HRS)
(25-26 September)

Department of English and American Studies
University of Vienna, Campus AAKH, Hof 8.3
Spitalgasse 2, 1090 Wien


You will find Helene-Richter-Saal on the ground floor.

Our department is called "Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik" in German; AAKH is short for "Altes Allgemeines Krankenhaus", in case you were wondering; and "Hof" means courtyard in German.

Should you arrive at Spitalgasse, you are about to enter courtyard/Hof 1 (map); if you enter from Garnisongasse (which is the shortest route to our Department) you are in courtyard/Hof 9 (in this case, just proceed to the next courtyard, which is no. 8). Once inside campus walls, it will help to watch out for blue signposts with maps on them (the university's official direction signs).

Transport

 
Getting around in Vienna

In Vienna you can use buses, trams and the S-Bahn (suburban train). A single ticket will cost you €2.40, a "48 hours Vienna"/"48 Stunden Wien" ticket €14.10, and a "72 hours Vienna"/"72 Stunden Wien" ticket €17.10. You can purchase these Wiener Linien tickets at the airport, at any metro-station, at a Trafik (kiosk for newspapers and tobacco), via the smartphone app (see below) but not on board of buses or underground trains. You will be able to buy single tickets in trams, but most ticket machines there are coin-based, so make sure you have some change.


There are also two offers of sightseeing packages including transport: the "EASY CityPass WIEN 48 hours" (€21.90) / "EASY CityPass WIEN 72 hours" (€26.90); and, for a slightly larger sum (€25.00 for 48 hours / €29.00 for 72 hours) the "Vienna City Card" from Tourist Info Vienna. Both CityPass and City Card offer reductions on a lot of attractions and are best bought online before your trip. To help you decide which of them fits your needs best, find more information here:
