Getting there: Transportation in Vienna

The PrepCom is going to be held in the Austria Center in Vienna, Bruno-Kreisky-Platz 1, A-1220 Vienna, Austria. The Austria Center is next to the United Nations in Vienna, and has a tunnel connecting it to the UN.

Vienna has an excellent public transportation system, and the U1 underground line travels directly to the site of the NPT PrepCom (the Kaisermuhlen-Vienna International Center stop). See a map of the Vienna public transportation here: http://progs.wiennet.at/contentfiles/wl_verkehrsnetz.pdf

You can buy a single ride on the public transport system for 1.50 Euro; a 24-hour unlimited ticket for 5.00 Euro; or a 72-hour unlimited ticket for 12.00 Euro. You can buy these tickets from vending machines in underground stations, tobacconists, and the Vienna Transport Authority.

The underground is also friendly to disabled passengers, and all the stations have an elevator. More information on travelling in Vienna with a disability is available at Vienna City Hall, and in a downloadable word document here: http://b2b.wien.info/data/access-service-e.doc
