AOFA '10

21st International Meeting on Probabilistic, Combinatorial, and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms

June 28 to July 2 2010, Vienna, Austria

Location of the Conference Site

The conference will take place in the second floor of the yellow tower of the building called "Freihaus". The address of the Freihaus is

Wiedner Hauptstraße 8-10
1040 Wien

You can get there by taking the underground lines U1 (red), U2 (violet), or U4 (green) to the station Karlsplatz and leaving the station via the exit Wiedner Hauptstraße. Walk straight under the arcades and enter the Freihaus through the big red doors (following the black line on this map). Then follow the signs to the green tower, second floor.

Public transport in Vienna

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 Freihaus - where the Conference takes place). Tickets are sold at various places, including 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:

Ticket Type	Validity	Price (Eur)
Ordinary Ticket [FAHRSCHEIN]	One hour (from the moment of stamping).	1.80
Daily Ticket [EINKAUFSKARTE]	From 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. (no matter when stamped). NOT VALID ON SUNDAYS.	4.60
24 Hrs. Ticket [24 STUNDEN - KARTE]	24 hours from the moment of stamping	5.70

How to get to the Vienna University of Technology

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 (2 zones = 3.60 Euro). Another possibility is to use the CAT train which takes you to Landstrasse as well (non-stop, 10 minutes faster, price: approx. 9 Euros). Landstrasse station is only 2 subway stations away from Karlsplatz - take the subway line U4 - Direction HÜTTELDORF.
From Westbahnhof: Take the subway line U3 - Direction Simmering to Stephansplatz, then the subway line U1 - Direction Reumannplatz to Karlsplatz.
From Südbahnhof: Take the tram line D to Kärntner Ring, Oper. From there, you can walk 3-4 minutes through the subway area to Karlsplatz.
