Covid-19 rules in Vienna: facial FPP2 masks are obligatory in public transport, hospitals and pharmacy shops. Such masks are available to buy in most grocery and pharmacy stores. If you arrive through Vienna International Airport we recommend you buy FPP2 masks already at the airport.
Also inside the conference venue, wearing a FPP2 mask is required whenever one is not consuming food or drink or giving a lecture.
For the benefit of all the participants we ask you to comply with current hygienic standards introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic: wear FPP2 masks in closed spaces whenever possible, social distancing is recommended, clean your hands as often as possible. Most importantly, if you exhibit certain symptoms associated to Covid-19 infection (cough, high fever, strong headache, sore throat, unusual tiredness, dizziness, etc. ), please first test yourself with an Antigen test for Covid-19 which can be bought in any pharmacy shop before coming to the conference. In case you test positive, please let us know immediately, stay in your hotel and possibly participate on the conference online.

Accommodation

Vienna has a wide variety of hotel and airB&B possibilities. Due to the pandemic, their availability tends to vary, and sometimes hotels reopen under a new name/owner.
  • The following hotels can be reserved using university rates if you them mentioning "Sumtopo2022" when you reserve in time (deadline April 16). That is, we have a number of prebooked rooms that you can contact about on first-come-first-serve basis. See »Hotels Sumptopt« for prices and contact information.
  • A general list of hotels that the department tends to use is the following: Phishing Alarm: Please note that as organisers we will not employ third parties to convince you to take any hotel reservation or the like. If you receive such attempts or messages, please consider them as phishing unless they concern the student accommodation that you have chosen when registering.

Touristic Information

From Vienna International Airport (Schwechat) to the city centre:

If you want to travel from the airport to the city center using public transportation here are some options you can use:
  • Railjet. These trains stop at Wien Meidling and at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) and run every 25-35 minutes daily from about 7 am to 10.00 pm. The ticket costs 4,10 euros.
  • S-Bahn (S7). The express train plies between Vienna Airport and Floridsdorf. The journey takes 37 minutes as the train makes a number of stops. The ticket costs 4,10 euros.
  • Buses. The buses of Vienna Airport Lines take you direct to the Donauzentrum via Vienna International Centre (VIC), or to the Westbahnhof and Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof). Here more information about the timetable. The single journey costs 8 euros.

Local transport:

Public transport is good in Vienna, so that any two points in Vienna are connected via subway/bus/tram/train with travel time seldom over 30 minutes. The local transport company is called Wiener Linien.
The whole city is a single zone (Kernzone), and single tickets are valid for 1.5 hour anywhere on subway, train, tram and bus. A single ticket costs 2.40 (when bought at machines in subway/train stations) or 2.60 euro (when bought at machines in trams). (Tickets cannot be bought at tram-stops, bus-stops or in buses/trains.)
There are weekly tickets available valid from Monday 0:00 to Sunday 24:00 for 17.10 euro at ticket machines, and validated at entrance of subway stations or in bus/tram when used the first time.
To come from point A to point B in Kernzone we recommend using the Wienerlinien journey planner:
  • Journey Planner
    Everywhere on stations and in subway/bus/tram, wearing an FFP2 mask is compulsory. The airport Schwechat is just outside the Vienna Kernzone, and single tickets then cost 4.10 euro, but this tickets is than valid for a single trip anywhere in Vienna. For travelling to the department, take S7 train, change at Landstrasse/Stadtmitte to subway U4 (direction Heiligerstadt) and alight at Schottenring or Roßauerlände.
