Directions
The Conference takes place in Vienna at the Fleming's Hotel Wien-Westbahnhof, located in the center of Vienna, approx. 500m north of the railway station “Westbahnhof”, easy to reach by bus, tram, train and taxi. It’s also close to Mariahilfer Street, one of two famous shopping streets.
Vienna is old, Vienna is new – and so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. In 2016, the Mercer Study voted Vienna the world's most livable city for the seventh year in a row. More than half of the metropolitan area is made up of green spaces. 280 imperial parks and gardens enrich the cityscape, as well as the over 100 museums. And of course, don’t forget about Vienna as the world’s music capital: More famous composers have lived here than in any other city.
