Welcome to Vienna!
Willkommen in Wien!
BEST Vienna Summer Course 2016
Welcome to Vienna! / Willkommen in Wien!
We are happy to have you here in Vienna soon! This document shall help
you to find your way to “Let's startup the World!” - our summer course we
are very proud of. It tries to give you all the information you need but if you
still have questions:
Don’t hesitate to contact us!
Vienna – the capital of Austria - is really a city of contrasts: on the one hand
the old town with its cosy cafess and fancy buildings – on the other hand a
modern, open minded city where lots of cultures live next to each other.
Vienna offers its visitors unique possibilities: visit one of the 100+
museums, swim (or even windsurf) in the Danube, get a ride on the famous
giant Ferris wheel in the Prater fun park or just enjoy the 360 panorama of
Vienna from the top of a 155- metre-high tower (called Donauturm), with a
sight distance up to 80 kilometres.
Interesting facts: Vienna is the capital of Austria
Mayor: Michael Hauupl (Social Democrats)
Inhabitants: about 1.73 million
Area: 415 km², Altitude: 171 m
Latitude: 48° 12' North, Longitude: 16° 22' East
If you want to get around in Vienna’s 23 districts, there are 5 subway lines
(U1 to U6, no U5!) and a lot of trams and busses (We have a map for you in
this document).In the centre of Vienna there are a lot of famous buildings
like Karlskirche, Stephansdom or Staatsoper – you’ll see them latest during
the city rally.
Another nice place with a very imposing building and a beautiful park is
Schounbrunn, princess Sissi’s palace; just one metro station away you can
visit the oldest zoo in Europe — Schounbrunn Tiergarten, founded in 1752.
All together - as you'll see - Vienna is a beautiful town where most of you
will spend their first BEST-Course as participant - and we're sure you'll
keep it in mind! :)
What to bring?
 Passport (and visa—if required)
 Health insurance (especially for non-EU-citizens) and travel
insurance (for EU citizens European Health Insurance Card is
minimum)
 Medicine (particularly if you need something special)
 Some pocket money. You might want to take souvenirs home, have a
drink in a bar (at the parties there are going to be some free drinks
for games and so on, but extra drinks are not going to be free, but just
for a reduced price)
 Don’t forget the course fee (depending on your country of origin)
either!
 International Student Identity Card
 Swimming suits, towels, etc.
 Clothes for both hot and rainy weather
 Alarm clock—You’re supposed to go to the lectures as well... Not
bringing an alarm clock won’t save you from that either... :P
 Some special food, some drink (or any other speciality) and a song or
dance of your country—or the International Evening. You can also
buy things in Vienna, but bear in mind that kitchen space is limited!

German? Deutsch? Wienerisch!
In Austria the official language is German, however lots of people also
understand English. Nevertheless it can’t harm to know some important
phrases of the local language.
You may have learned German in school but be warned: Austrian German
(actually, there are many dialects in Austria most of them belonging to the
Austrian-Bavarian group of dialects, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_dialects) is very different from
Standard German – especially when it comes to food. Of course we’ll be
teaching you the Viennese dialect. :)
