Dinner Saturday
by Stefan Dösinger 19 Sep '15

19 Sep '15

Hi, Just in case anyone gets split from the group: We're going to Melker Stiftskeller, the address is Schottengasse 3, 1010 Wien. The general plan is to take U3 to Stephansplatz and walk about 10 Minutes to the Restaurant. If anyone is desperate to cut down the walking time as much as possible, the alternative is to change to U2 at Volkstheater, go to Schottentor and walk from there. The overall travel time is probably longer due to the train change.

fwiw, The minibar is free for business rooms in the hotel, including all the drinks in it too! Sounds too good to be true but I have first hand experience :D

A few more tidbits
by Jeremy White 18 Sep '15

The S7 and CAT trains are in the exact same place, but all the signs just say CAT. There are ticket machines down the ramp, if there is a line at the window. The view from the train wasn't great, so the bus sounds like a reasonable choice (although Stefan says it's view won't be any better). H&M sells T shirts for only 5 Euros if you lose your luggage :-). Also, Stefan says that the 'bar' can possibly mean two places; there is a fairly small area downstairs, and apparently a larger area upstairs (which I have not seen) So if you're looking for people, you might check both places. Michael, I think it's just me and Aaryaman here so far, and I'm out with jet lag now :-(. I gather that Alexandre comes in with jet lag of his own any minute now. I think it is likely that an expedition will set out tomorrow between 8:30 and 9:00 am to visit the Schönbrunn Palace. Cheers, Jeremy

Warning on trains and Google
by Jeremy White 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

I think this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I thought it worth repeating: Google apparently does not have a relationship with the Vienna transport folks, so Google maps transit routing is pretty bad. There also appear to be a plethora of choices of ways to get from the airport to the hotel. Two, count 'em, two, trains, and a bus, without even getting to taxis or other options. I stashed what I learned via Google on the WineConf2015 page. (My plan is to take the OBB S7 train to Wien Mitte, and then the U3 to Westbahnhof and the hotel). Cheers, Jeremy

Lunch Friday
by Alex Henrie 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

I will be starving when I arrive in Vienna. For me and the three other people who will be checking into the hotel at about 2pm on Friday, would you like to find a place to eat a late lunch and then go tour the city? I am open to eating and touring pretty much anywhere, although I would like to go for a ride on the giant ferris wheel or take a tour of the Schönbrunn Palace. -Alex

Arrival times
by Jeremy White 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

I think it's nice to have a list of when people are expecting to arrive. I'm getting in on Thursday at 1:30 pm. I plan to hang out as late as I can stay awake on Thursday, and then be a tourist on Friday. I think my main plan for Friday is to hit the Schloss Schonbrunn, and then maybe the town center a bit. Assuming his flight makes it okay, I think Nikolay is hoping to join me on Friday. Then we generally gather at the hotel on Friday, usually starting in the late afternoon. Cheers, Jeremy
