Public transport is very efficient in Vienna. A VOR ticket gives you unlimited access to all public transport in the city area of Vienna (this includes the area around the TU Wien Main Building - where the Workshop takes place). Tickets are sold in tobacco stores, but you can also buy them from ticket-machines, which are located in every subway station (working all the time, as long as the subway lines are open). There are many kinds of tickets, trying to give people as much flexibility as possible. The most advisable is a whole-week ticket. Several possibilities are:

•  How to reach the WL from the airport.
You can take the Rapid Transit train [ SCHNELLBAHN ], line S7 (goes one level under the airport; just follow the signs), to LANDSTRASSE (Wien-Mitte) station. Don't forget to buy a ticket. The Landstrasse is only 2 subway stations away from Karlsplatz - take the subway line U4 - Direction HÜTTELDORF.

- Option 2: taking the City Airport Train (CAT), the tickets cost EUR 9.- and you can get them at the machines located inside the luggage claim area. The destination of the train is again the Wien-Mitte traffic-junction, i.e. LANDSTRASSE subway station.

- Option 3: the bus by Vienna Airport Lines, the ticket costs EUR 6.- and you will be brought directly to Schwedenplatz. From there take either the U4 - Direction HÜTTELDORF or the U1 - Direction REUMANNPLATZ to Karlsplatz.
