Welcome
everyone!
On
behalf
of
the
VYF
Pre‐Conference
we
are
happy
to
welcome
you
to
Vienna!
You
are
one
of
many
who
applied
at
the
Pre‐Conference
and
we
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
efforts!
You
were
selected
because
we
believe
that
you
can
learn
something
at
the
conference,
for
yourself,
your
organization,
group
and
movement
back
home.
We
also
believe
that
the
other
participants
can
learn
something
from
you.
For
this
reason
and
many
more
we
are
looking
forward
to
meeting
you
in
Vienna.
We
hope
you
appreciate
the
work
behind
these
pages
and
we
invite
you
to
take
a
small
tour
along
the
welcome
package.
Make
sure
you
read
attentively,
especially
the
section
about
the
conference
venue.
We
have
prepared
this
document
to
assist
you
in
your
planning
for
the
Pre‐Conference
and
AIDS
2010
so
that
your
conference
experience
will
be
as
rewarding
as
possible.
This
guide
is
a
complement
to
other
conference
information
material
from
AIDS
2010
that
you
can
find
online
(General
Information
Guide,
Conference
Programme,
the
monthly
e‐update,
the
Programme‐at‐a‐Glance,
the
conference
website).
This
guide
focuses
on
practical
matters
relating
to
your
travel
to
and
stay
in
Vienna
and
the
Pre‐Conference
venue.
There
is
even
a
separaete
document
about
the
venue
of
AIDS
2010
and
the
programmes.
We
strongly
recommend
that
you
go
through
this
information
well
in
advance
of
your
journey
to
Vienna,
especially
if
this
is
your

international
conference.
We
hope
that
you
enjoy
reading
this
document
and
find
it
useful
and
wish
you
all
the

We
hope
that

1. Traveling to Vienna.
Please
check
that
all
the
information
on
your
flight
tickets,
including
your
name,
departure
dates
and
return
dates
are
correct
before
you
fly.
1.1 Preparing
for
your
flight:
Find
out
the
restrictions
on
luggage
for
your
flights.
Generally,
you
can
bring
1‐2
larger
bags
weighing
up
to
23kg
(50lbs)
that
are
‘checked’
and
1
small
bag
weighing
up
to
10kg
(22lbs)
that
you
take
on
the
airplane
(called
a
‘carry‐on’).
Bring
in
your
carry‐on:
your
passport,
visa,
and
other
official
documents;
official
correspondence
from
AIDS
2010
(especially
your
letter
of
invitation);
money
and
other
valuables;
a
change
of
clothes
and
a
few
pairs
of
underwear;
and
any
medications
you
require
along
with
a
copy
of
your
prescription,
if
you
take
medication
with
you.
If
you
have
a
long
journey
we
suggest
you
also
travel
with
a
moisturizer,
deodorant,
a
toothbrush
and
toothpaste
and
dental
floss.
You
can
bring
up
to
three
100ml
bottles
of
liquids
or
gels
that
are
contained
within
a
clear
500ml
plastic
bag.
Don’t
bring
in
your
carry‐on:
There
are
also
restrictions
on
what
you
can
have
in
your
carry‐
on.
You
are
not
allowed
to
bring
sharp
objects
(such
as
jackknives),
firearms,
explosives,
and
large
bottles
of
liquids
(such
as
shampoo).
We
recommend
that
you
do
not
bring
food
items
in
your
checked
bag.
You
are
not
allowed
to
bring
any
food
or
drinks
through
the
security
check,
however
you
can
buy
those
after
you
pass
it,
inside
the
airport
in
the
duty‐free
area.
It
is
not
uncommon
for
luggage
to
get
misplaced
during
international
flights.
Lost
luggage
will
usually
show
up
within
24
hours.
You
can
make
it
easier
for
your
luggage
to
find
its
way
back
to
you
by
putting
a
label
(called
a
‘bag
tag’)
on
it.
The
bag
tag
should
have
your
name
and
the
name
and
phone
number
of
your
hostel
in
Vienna.
Write
this
information
on
a
sheet
of
paper
that
you
leave
inside
your
luggage
as
well.
The
phone
number
of
the
youth
hostel
in
Vienna
is:
+
43‐1‐332
82
94
(Jugendgästehaus
Brigittenau,
1200
Vienna)
Consider
bringing
books,
puzzles,
and
other
things
to
entertain
yourself
on
the
journey.
Movies
are
usually
shown
during
the
flight,
but
it
is
a
good
idea
to
have
other
entertainment
options
with
you.
6
1.2 The
day
of
travel:
Get
to
the
airport
early!
It
is
generally
recommended
that
you
arrive
at
the
airport
3
hours
in
advance
of
international
flights.
This
ensures
you
have
enough
time
to
check‐in
for
your
flight
and
go
through
customs.
When
you
get
to
the
airport,
you
will
have
to
‘check‐in’
with
the
airline
company.
They
will
look
at
your
ticket,
passport,
and
visa.
They
will
then
check‐in
your
luggage
and
give
you
boarding
passes.
Ask
to
have
your
luggage
checked
through
to
Vienna,
if
possible.
You
will
go
through
security
once
you
have
checked
in.
Only
people
with
valid
boarding
passes
and
proper
identification
are
allowed
past
security.
The
guards
will
scan
your
carry‐on
bags.
You
will
be
asked
to
walk
through
a
detector.
Both
you
and
your
bags
might
be
searched.
It
is
a
good
idea
to
find
your
departure
gate
right
away
once
you
are
through
security.
Then,
if
there’s
time,
you
can
explore
the
airport.
Keep
in
mind
that
you
must
be
at
your
gate
for
boarding
at
the
time
specified
on
your
boarding
pass.
You
may
also
have
to
go
through
customs
at
your
local
airport.

o Please note that
1.3 Connecting
Flights:
Almost
all
Pre‐Conference
participants
will
have
one
or
more
connecting
flights.
Generally,
you
have
to
go
through
the
customs
for
the
country
in
which
the
airport
is
located,
before
you
can
go
to
the
gate
for
your
connecting
flight.
Make
sure
that
you
to
fill
out
the
visa
forms
clearly
and
correctly.
Delegates
with
connecting
flights
in
the
USA
will
have
to
pick
up
their
bag(s)
from
the
designated
carousel,
pass
through
the
baggage
check
to
re‐check
their
bag(s),
and
go
through
the
security
check.
These
steps
can
take
some
time!
We
recommend
that
even
if
you
have
a
long
connection
time,
you
proceed
immediately
with
the
transfer
to
your
next
flight.
You
can
stop
to
rest,
eat
or
explore
afterwards.
7
The
travel
agent
will
have
booked
flights
with
sufficient
time
to
make
your
connections.
If
your
first
plane
is
late
and
you
miss
your
connecting
flight,
the
airline
will
arrange
for
you
to
go
on
another
flight.
You
have
the
right
to
receive
vouchers
for
food,
hotel
accommodation
should
your
flight
be
delayed
for
more
than
a
few
hours.
Talk
to
the
staff
from
the
airline.
Keep
in
mind
that
there
are
different
time
zones
around
the
world.
Make
sure
you
are
using
the
local
time.
There
will
be
clocks
all
around
the
airport.
1.4 Return
Trip:
We
know
that
you
will
be
returning
to
your
country
with
books,
clothes,
crafts,
and
other
materials
from
your
trip.
In
Austria
the
usual
charge
for
every
kilo
extra
luggage
is
approximately
20
Euros
(though
this
depends
on
which
airline
you
are
using).
Don’t
forget
to
arrive
at
the
airport
around
3
hours
before
your
return
flight
as
well.
1.5 Austrian
Customs:
The
Austrian
Customs
are
in
charge
of
controlling
the
merchandise
and
goods
that
enter
and
leave
the
country.
Moreover,
they
set
the
taxes
that
you
have
to
pay
to
transport
goods
into
and
from
Austria.
1.5.1 What
can
be
brought
into
Austria?
Bans
and
restrictions
on
imports
in
Austria
are
primarily
intended
to
prevent
any
risk
to
the
health
of
persons
caused
by
the
goods
brought
into
the
country.
• You
do
not
need
to
pay
taxes
on
the
items
allowed
in
your
personal
luggage
according
to
the
length
of
the
trip.
The
following
items
are
only
allowed
into
Austria
in
your
checked‐in
luggage,
not
the
carry‐on.
• Austria
has
specific
customs
regulations,
which
somehow
allows
you
to
bring
some
food
with
you
in
your
checked‐in
luggage,
however
the
regulations
are
very
complex
and
strict,
so
we
would
strongly
recommend
you
don’t
bring
food
with
you
as
fish,
meat
etc.
But
you
are
allowed
to
bring
sweets
as
biscuits,
cakes
and
bread
if
you
wish
to,
but
they
have
to
be
in
the
checked‐in
luggage.
Because
most
of
you
will
travel
for
a
long
time,
we
strongly
recommend
you
not
to
bring
a
lot
of
food
with
you,
as
you
can
purchase
it
in
Vienna
too.
• Passengers
over
the
age
of
18
may
bring,
in
addition
to
the
above
mentioned
items,
up
to
200
cigarettes
OR
100
cigarillos
OR
50
Cigars
OR
250g
of
Tobacco.
1.5.2 Important
Information
about
Medicines
Travelers
with
EU
Domicile
You
may
re‐import
into
Austria
those
pharmaceuticals,
without
requiring
authorization
that
you
carried
with
you
when
leaving
the
country.
By
the
same
token,
any
medicinal
products
8
purchased
abroad
do
not
require
any
authorization,
in
quantities
up
to
a
maximum
of
three
(single)
retail
packages.
Travelers
with
non‐EU
Domicile
If
you
are
traveling
with
medicines,
you
will
need
to
declare
them
on
your
customs
declaration
form.
We
recommend
that
you
carry
any
medicines
in
their
original
packaging
and
that
you
also
bring
your
original
prescription
with
you
and
make
sure
it
is
clearly
identified.
Knowing
the
generic
names
of
your
medicine
can
also
help
resolve
any
questions
that
you
may
encounter
at
customs.
It
is
advised
to
bring
a
letter
from
your
doctor
listing
the
medicines,
stating
ownership,
along
with
any
prior
illness,
should
any
medical
care
be
required.
The
amount
of
medicine
that
you
bring
with
you
should
correspond
to
the
length
of
your
stay
in
Vienna.
Do
not
bring
a
large
amount
of
extra
medicine
with
you!
We
also
recommend
that
you
carry
your
medicines
in
your
carry‐on
bags
so
that
you
do
not
run
the
risk
of
losing
them
in
your
checked
baggage.
1.5.3 Arrival
at
Austrian
Customs
After
collecting
your
luggage
you
may
proceed
to
Customs,
where
you
fill
out
a
Customs
Declaration
Form
in
case
you
haven’t
had
the
chance
already.
Read
it
carefully
before
filling
it
out
and
don’t
hesitate
to
ask
Customs
personnel
for
assistance.
Pay
attention
to
the
signs
at
the
entrance
to
Customs
so
that
you
go
through
the
correct
line.
There
will
be
two
signs:
Nothing
to
Declare
and
Declarations.
- Declarations:
Chose
this
line
when
you
have
extra
goods
that
exceed
those
outlined
above
and
permitted
by
Austrian
customs
in
your
personal
luggage.
After
passing
through
this
line
you
will
be
required
to
fill
out
the
required
forms
and
pay
the
required
taxes.
- Nothing
to
Declare:
You
may
exit
the
baggage
claim
area
when
you
only
have
your
personal
luggage
and
the
permitted
goods
trough
the
general
exit.
1.5.4 Useful
Information
• It
is
prohibited
by
national
legislation
to
import
illegal
drugs
into
the
country,
as
well
as
weapons.
Don’t
forget
that
you
have
to
pass
through
customs
and
declare:
medicines
or
any
other
extra
goods
for
which
you
have
a
permission
to
transport.
• Visas
and
Immigration
Information:
Please
note
that
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
delegate
to
investigate
visa
requirements
for
Austria
and
apply
for
a
visa.
All
delegates
traveling
to
Austria
must
present
an
approved
travel
document
(passport
or
identity
card)
and
delegates
from
many
countries
will
require
a
visa
to
enter
the
Schengen
zone.
Aside
from
the
visa
for
entering
the
Schengen
zone,
you
may
need
a
transit
visa.
It
is
compulsory
for
all
Schengen
visa
applications
to
include
suitable
health/travel
insurance
for
the
entire
period
of
the
stay
in
the
Schengen
zone.
Please
ensure
that
you
make
the
necessary
arrangements
early.
• Health
and
Travel
Insurance:
It
is
compulsory
for
all
Schengen
visa
applications
to
include
suitable
health/travel
insurance
for
the
entire
period
of
the
stay
in
the
Schengen
zone.
We
strongly
advise
that
all
delegates,
including
those
not
requiring
a
9
visa,
arrange
sufficient
travel
insurance
to
cover
unexpected
events
or
costs,
including
any
health
emergencies.
The
conference
organizers
cannot
accept
liability
for
personal
injuries,
loss
or
damage
to
property
belonging
to
conference
delegates
(or
their
accompanying
persons),
either
during
or
as
a
result
of
the
conference.

this
section
of
your
welcome
package
on
how
to
get
to

–
General
Information
Tourist
Information
at
the

The
tourist

of
the

and
is
open
from

is
an
event
for
young
people
by
young
people.
There
are
no
rules
on
what
you
are
supposed
to
wear.
Dress
to
express,
attire
to
inspire
You
can
wear
what
you
feel
comfortable
in
and
we
take
it
for
granted
that
no
one
of
you
will
show
up
without
clothes…
3.2.4.
Material.
We
will
set
up
a
table
where
you
can
bring
the
material
(printed
matter)
from
your
organization
that
you
would
like
to
share
with
your
peers.
Also
note
that
we
will
have
the
17
informal
regional
meetings
at
first
day
in
the
morning
and
perhaps
you
would
like
to
present
some
of
your
work
at
home
to
your
peers
at
the
conference
and
tell
them
about
it.
You
could
also
bring
a
USB
device
for
sharing
files
with
your
peers.
3.2.5.
What
to
bring.
Please
bring
some
elements
of
your
national
decor
for
design
of
Wall
space
@
Youth
Pavilion:
small

‐
all
that
demonstrate
you
unique

and
can
be
placed
with
a
tape
on
a
wall.
3.2.6.
Session
Rooms.
The
session
rooms
have
the
abbreviation
HS
and
KR.
HS

is
the
plenary

room.
The
rooms
will
be
signed
accordingly.
We
will
use
HS
1,
HS
3
and
KR
7‐11.
This
will
only
make
sense
to
you
now
when
you
look
at
the
programme.
The
programme
is
sent
to
you
in
a
separate
file!
3.2.7.
Check
out
the
white
news
board
next
to

We
will
arrange
a
big
white
board
next
to
the

where
we
will
keep
you
updated
about
changes
in
the
programme
and
what
is
going
on.
Please
stop
by
and
read
through
it.
If
there
are
no
changes
written
on
it
–
even
better!
That
means
everything
goes
according
to
plan
3.2.8.
Home
Groups
This
year
we
are
trying
something
new
at
the
Pre‐Conference.
We
have
divided
all
of
you
into
home
groups.
WE
think
that
the
well‐being
of
participants
in
any
event
is
crucial
for
the
development
of
the
activities.
Due
to
the
large
number
of
participants
with
so
many
different
backgrounds
we
want
to
check
if
everything
is
‘ok’.
Home
groups
will
be
assigned
randomly
making
sure
that
people
from
different
countries,
backgrounds
and
organizations
are
together.
Gender
balance
and
regional
diversity
are
considered.
Home
groups
will
meet
at
the
end
of
the
‘working’
day
and
will
be
lead
by
a
volunteer
or
a
sub‐committee
member.
Your
home
group
is
our
feed
back
loop
and
we
want
you
to
share
your
comments
and
feelings
about
the
programme
and
the
conference
in
an
informal
setting.
The
group
meeting
will
be
30
minutes
and
everybody
has
to
attend
all
the
meetings
because
it
is
also
part
of
your
responsibility
to
be
active.
You
will
be
allocated
to
your
home
group
at
the
reception
and
we
will
put
up
a
list
at
the
venue
and
at
the
hostel
Brigittenau,
so
you
can
find
your
group.
The
groups
are
divided
up
by
numbers.
Each
evening
your
home
group
leader
will
bring
back
your
feedback
to
us
organizers
so
we
can
discuss
that
on
the
next
day.
Your
home
group
will
have
a
meeting
point
in
a
session
room
and
you
will
receive
instructions
by
the
home
group
leader
for
the
next
meetings.
2.3.9.
Share
your
knowledge
in
your
language
Because
we
have
no
means
for
translation
at
the
Pre‐Conference
we
came
up
with
the
idea
of
language
sessions.
At
the
end
of
DAY
1
and
DAY
2
you
can
meet
your
peers
in
allocated
18
session
rooms,
so
you
can
share
the
lessons
you
have
learned
in
your
mother
tongue
and
ask
back
if
things
are
not
understood.
This
is
an
informal
meeting
and
we
are
trying
to
see
if
this
is
a
reasonable
way
to
include
everybody.
3.2.10.
What
else
is
there?
There
is
a
balcony
with
a
nice
view
over
Vienna
where
you
can
go
and
get
some
fresh
air

smoke.

further

the
“old
hospital”
(Altes
AKH)
which
is
the
campus
of
the
University
of
Vienna.
There
are
several
nice
yards
to
sit
in
and
it
is
close
enough
to
spend
the
lunch
break
there.
On
the
ground
level
of
the
hospital,
where
you
entered
the
building,
you
will
find
a
supermarket
(SPAR),
a
bakery
(ANKER),

Security
and
Safety
in
Vienna
Vienna
is
the
capital
of
Austria
and
is
considered
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
Europe.
The
crime
rate
is
low.
The
conference
venue
is
located
in
one
of
the
most
popular
areas
of
the
city
with
numerous
nearby
attractions.
Whether
you
are
staying
in
the
area
close
to
the
conference
venue
or
travelling
around
the
city,
it
is
necessary
to
consider
the
following
common‐sense
principles
for
travelers
to
any
city:
• Avoid
areas
of
the
city
that
are
unfamiliar
to
you
• Always
travel
with
someone
or
in
a
group
• Avoid
carrying
large
sums
of
money
with
you
;
bring
only
what
you
will
need
• Always
let
people
know
where
you
are
and,
if
possible,
carry
a
mobile
phone
with
you
• Always
carry
identification
(including
a
copy
of
your
passport)
with
you,
along
with
the
name,
address
and
contact
information
of
your
hotel.
6.9.
Tipping
It
is
common
to
give
a
tip
of
10%
to
15%
of
the
bill
to
taxi
drivers,
as
well
as
to
servers
at
restaurants,
bars
and
clubs.
The
tipping
amount
depends
on
your
satisfaction
with
the
services
provided.‐23

24

quite cheap.
• Bunkerei
Located in one of the most beautiful public gardens in the city - the Augarten, the bunkerei is just one of

better.

Founded in 1880, the Cafe Sperl is one the most known traditional coffeehouses in Vienna.
There you get nearly every Viennese coffee speciality and a lot of traditional Viennese
desserts(Sachertorte, Topfenstrudel, Gugelhupf) and also some main courses. Cafe Sperl has also been
the coffeehouse where one of the film scenes of "Before Sunrise" have been shot.
Website: www.cafesperl.at
Address: Gumpendorfer Straße 11, 1060 Wien
Opening hours: Monday till Saturday: 7am-11pm and Sunday: 11am-8pm
• Café
Alt
Wien
Another classic. A place where you can sit for hours over a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette and look at
the other people around you or the uncountable posters on the walls.
• Café Ylk
Cute little Turkish café close to the university where you can have a great and cheap Sunday- brunch,
but also normal Mediterranean food. The special thing about this restaurant though is the very familiar
28
atmosphere, meaning that usually the woman who owns the family-run restaurant greets everyone with
a handshake very nice, indeed. And they are very proud of their Simits, cause they are the only one in
Vienna selling it- as they told us.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8.00- 20.00, Sat. 10.00 - 19.00, Sun 10.00 - 15.00
• Café Hawelka
You just have to love this place, with its untouched interieur, the way to fancy dressed waiters and the
old Mr. Hawelka who still shows up from time to time. Although it lost some of its flair, with the death
of Mrs. Hawelka some years ago (Mr. Hawelka used to sit at the entrance of the coffeehouse during the
day and welcome guests and in the evening Mrs. Hawelka prepared her famous Buchteln for the guests
and walked around from one table to another to say hi to the people there) it is still one of the .must
seen. coffee houses in Vienna. As soon as you enter it, you feel like you have to write a book, talk about
something very serious or at least save the world. "Wiener Kaffeehauskultur" at its best.
Café
Afro
“It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.” This is the motto of the nice and cosy Afro Café.
It is a simple, oriental place which is marked by its typical southern charms. Simple and non-expensive
but good food is served all day long, starting with breakfast.
Weltcafé
A typical student’s Café close to the University of Vienna, which serves only fair-trade drinks and fair-
trade food. The “Weltcafe” has a very laid-back atmosphere with students spending hours and hours
studying and chatting. Food starts from 3,50 (soups) and main dishes are around 7-8 Euros.
Address: Schwarzspanierstraße 15, 1090 Vienna
Website: www.weltcafe.at

A
general
orientation
of
Vienna
So
what
is
there
to
see
and
do?
Vienna
is
divided
into
23
districts.
The
central
first
district
"Innere
Stadt"
is
the
historic
city
centre,
which
is
surrounded
by
the
Ringstraße,
a
19th
century
boulevard
with
most
representative
buildings.
The
Ringstraße
runs
where
the
city
walls
were
until
their
destruction
‐
an
inner
circle
that
is
echoed
by
an
outer
one,
the
Gürtel.
From
the
first
district,
several
major
roads
extend
to
the
outskirts
‐
for
example,
the
Mariahilferstraße
or
theWienzeile.
The
latter
one
connects
the
first
district
with
the
Palace
of
Schönbrunn.
Vienna
is
framed
by
the
hills
of
the
Vienna
Woods
in
the
West
and
‐
at
least
the
historic
parts
‐
by
the
Danube
in
the
East.
Other
important
landmarks
are
theDonaukanal
and
the
Alte
Donau,
old
Danube
River
beds.
10

Vienna’s
most
elegant
shopping
street
leads
from
the
Stephansplatz
to
the
Staatsoper
on
the
Ring
and
ends
at
Karlsplatz.
Since
1974
it
has
been
a
pedestrian
prescint
with
pavement
cafes,
traditional
and
fashionable

elegant
boutiques
and
busy
shopping

junction
of
Kärtner
Strasse
and
Ring
lies
the

firt
underground
pedestrian

is
the
legendary
hotel
Sacher
on
the
corner
of
Philharmonikerstrasse
where
you
can
have
a
slice
of
the
famous
“Sachertorte”.
2) Stephansdom
31
You
should
also
visit
the
most
famous
landmark
of
Vienna
–
the
St.Stephen’s
Cathedral
(Stephansdom).
The
architectural
history
of
the
cathedral
started
in
the
12th
century.
The
cathedral
bears
Romanesque,
Gothic,
Renaissance
and
Baroque
elements.
In
the
last
days
of
World
War
II,
the
church
burnt
partly
down.
The
people
of
Austria
and
all
the
Austrian
provinces
contributed
to
its
reconstruction
and
the
cathedral
was
reopened
in
1948.
The
dimensions
of
the
cathedral
are
awe
striking:
it
is
107,2m
long,
the
nave
is
38,9m
high,
the
southern
tower
with
its
136,7m
is
the
third
highest
church
tower
in
Europe.
3) Karlskirche
Fortunately,
there
is
a
bit
of
space
between
the
church
and
theKarlsplatz
Square
with
its
enormous
amounts
of
traffic,
and
so
visitors
can
enjoy
a
few
quite
moments
in
front
of
the
building.
The
Karlskirche
was
designed
by
Johann
Bernhard
Fischer
von
Erlach.
The
church
was
finished
by
Johann
Bernhard's
son
Johann
Michael
von
Erlach
in
1737.
4) Staatsoper‐
national
Opera
What
is
called
the
"Wiener
Staatsoper"
("Vienna
National
Opera")
used
to
be
the"k.k.
Hofoper"
(Imperial
and
Royal
Court
Opera)
in
the
days
of
the
Habsburg
Empire
‐
in
any
case,
the
Viennese
referred
to
it
as
"the
first
house"
by
theRingstraße
road.
This
refers
to
the
opera
as
being
the
most
exclusive,
significant
and
noble
institution
of
Austria
as
well
as
the
oldest
of
the
large,
public
buildings
that
were
constructed
in
the
late
19th
century.
The
Staatsoper
is
one
of
the
most
important
opera
houses
in
the
World
and
the
pride
of
Austria,
particularly
the
Viennese.
5) Hofburg
The
Hofburg
("Court
Castle")
was
the
Imperial
Palace
for
the
Habsburgs
for
several
centuries,
although
the
current
building
that
is
bearing
the
name
Hofburg
was
largely
built
in
the
19th
century
and
developed
piece
by
piece.
There
are
two
qualities
to
the
Hofburg:
Its
utterly
strange
layout
with
no
natural
centre
with
the
clear
notion
that
it
was
re‐modelled
repeatedly;
and
the
gigantism
of
the
architecture,
making
it
the
climax
of
both
the
Ringstraße
buildings
and
the
madness
of
Austrian
Imperialism.
6) Ringstrasse
32
7) Kunsthistorisches
&
Naturhistorisches
Museum
The
Art
Museum
(Kunsthistorisches)
holds
the
fourth
largest
collection
of
paintings,
the
largest
collection
of
Egyptian
papyri,
art
objects
from
Greek,
Roman,
Etruscan
and
other
early
cultures
as
well
as
Renaissance
collections,
"devotionalia"
(religious
art)
and
the
crown
jewels
of
the
Holy
Roman
Empire
of
German
Nation,
Austria,
Hungary,
Sicily
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
territories
that
were
part
of
the
Habsburg's
portfolio
of
possessions.
The
"KHM"
as
it
is
known
to
the
Viennese
is
among
Europe's
finest
museums
of
fine
arts.
Right
opposite
to
the
Art
Museum
is
the
Natural
History
Museum
(Naturhistorisches)
which
offers
insights
into
stones
and
minerals,
fossils
and
dinosaurs
as
well
as
overwhelming
species
variety
of
the
animal
world.
8) Belevedere
It
is
also
worth
seeing
the
Belvedere
Palace
and
Schönbrunn
Palace.
Prince
Eugene
of
Savoye
(1663
–
1736)
commissioned
Johann
Lukas
von
Hildebrandt
to
design
the
Belvedere
and
built
this
garden
palace
as
a
summer
residence
outside
the
walls
of
the
city.
After
Eugene’s
death
the
Palace,
rated
as
one
of
the
most
exquisite
Baroque
structures
of
the
world,
was
taken
over
by
the
Habsburg
family.
When
the
poverty
fell
to
the
Republic
of
Austria,
a
majority
of
the
rooms
were
adapted
to
give
home
to
the
Austrian
Gallery
hosting
a
permanent
exhibition
of
Gustav
Klimt
and
Egon
Schiele
paintings.
9) Schönbrunn
Schönbrunn
Palace
was
the
summer
residence
of
the
Habsburgs,
the
Royal
Austrian
Family.
It
was
a
fair
distance
from
the
city,
located
in
the
woods
and
meadows.
During
wintertime
the
imperial
family
stayed
at
the
Imperial
Palace
(Hofburg).
There
are
1441
rooms
in
the
palace,
45
of
which
are
open
to
the
public
on
guided
tours.
The
interior
is
mostly
decorated
in
the
Rococco
style,
featuring
ornamentation
covered
with
14‐carat
gold
leaves.
The
gardens
of
Schönbrunn
Palace
with
spectacular,
ever‐changing
designs
of
seasonal
flowers,
between
the
garden
front
of
the
palace
and
Neptune
Fountain
are
a
place
of
great
beauty.
On
the
hill
behind
the
fountain,
there
is
the
Gloriette
with
a
café
inside.
From
there
you
have
a
wonderful
view
over
the
Palace
and
the
city
behind
it,
so
definitely
a
great
place
to
relax!
10) Museumsquartier
The
MuseumsQuartier
("Museum s
Quarter")
is
Vienna s
most
recent
addition
to
internationally
renowned
sightseeing
attractions.
Spread
over
an
impressive60,000
square
metres
of
exhibition
space,
the
MuseumsQuartier
unites
an
array
of
outstanding
contemporary
art
as
well
as
classic
modern
pieces
including
the
World s
most
extensive
collection
of
Schiele
works
in
the
Leopold
Museum.
The
place
offers
really
cosy
restaurants
and
bistros
to
have
a
meal
or
a
drink
during
day
and
night.
Modern
benches
also
offer
a
possibility
to
relax
in
a
very
comfortable
atmosphere.
It
is
very
accessible
through
the
U2
Underground
station
“Museumsquartier”.
