-[public transportation](http://www.wienerlinien.at/eportal3/ep/programView.do/programId/66797)
-(the station Höchstädtplatz is right next to the venue, and Dresdnerstraße is
-just a few minutes by foot); bike and walking work well too, cars have
-[limited parking in the 20th district until Friday](https://www.wien.gv.at/english/transportation/parking/shortterm.htm).

You can get to Vienna by plane (VIE is connected to the local public transport

+borders.
+
+### Wiener Linien / public transport
+
+Wiener Linien is the public transfer network in Vienna.
+
+* Next stations:
+
+ - Höchstädtplatz is right in front of the building, and serviced by lines
+ 2, 31 (trams) and 37A (bus).
+
+ - [U6 Dresdnerstraße is just a few minutes by foot](http://map.project-osrm.org/?z=17¢er=48.238398%2C16.380358&loc=48.237258%2C16.380283&loc=48.239352%2C16.377343&hl=en&alt=0),
+ serviced by U6 (underground), 2 (tram), 5A and 37A (bus).
+
+ - Handelskai is serviced by Schnellbahn (mostly used for reaching areas
+ outside the city, like the airport), and only one stop away from the
+ venue with the underground line U6.
+
+* Practical routes to the venue:
-If you visit from outside of the Schengen area, you might need to apply for
-travel visa; [contact us](mailto:debienna@lists.debienna.at) if you need
-assistance.
+ - U1 or southern U4: go to Schwedenplatz, then take tram 2 direction Friedrich-Engels-Platz until Höchstädtplatz
+ - U2: go to Taborstraße, then take tram 2 direction Friedrich-Engels-Platz until Höchstädtplatz
+ - eastern U3: go to Stubentor, then take tram 2 direction Friedrich-Engels-Platz until Höchstädtplatz
+ - northern U4: go to Spittelau, then take the U6 direction Floridsdorf until Dresdner Straße
+ - western U3: go to Westbahnhof, then take the U6 direction Floridsdorf until Dresdner Straße
+
+* Tickets:
+
+ - Tickets are available at multilingual vending machines at all major stations.
+
+ - Single trips are 2.20€ ("Einzelfahrt") for any single uninterrupted route
+ inside Vienna, you can change arbitrarily between underground, Schnellbahn
+ and underground with it. Beware that the airport ("Flughafen Wien") is
+ outside Vienna ("Kernzone 100" in public transport lingo and many maps), and
+ you'll need an extra ticket for the outside zone.
+
+ - If you plan on taking 8 trips or more (which you'd typically will if you
+ stay all four days), buy a Vienna weekly ticket for 16.20€. It is valid
+ for everything the single ticket is valid for until Monday 09:00. If you
+ buy it at the airport, make sure it's for "Kernzone 100", and don't forget
+ that as with single tickets, the trip to the airport is not included.
