The 8th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology takes place at the ACV – Austria Center Vienna, which is located in the 22nd district of Vienna, only a few minutes away from the city centre by public transport.

The CAT (City Airport Train) is the fastest way from the airport to the city centre. Within the city, public transport is recommended.

Vienna has a comprehensive, fully-integrated public transport network consisting of five underground lines, 28 tram routes and more than 100 bus routes. Waiting times are very short – as little as just 3-5 minutes at peak times. It takes just seven minutes to reach Stephansplatz from the Austria Center Vienna on the U1. Please visit the Wiener Linien website for route details: www.wienerlinien.at

Please also see the Public Transport section below.

Please find the Covid-19 rules & Regulations here.

Please also consider the terms & conditions for registering for the Congress here.

The official currency of the 8th EAN Congress in Vienna is Euro (€).

The easiest ways to get Euros is from ATMs, which are everywhere in Vienna. Most ATMs work with credit cards of the Visa and MasterCard type, and debit cards that use the Maestro or Cirrus systems.

Austria uses the 220 – 240 Volt/50 Mhz system and two-pin continental plugs – the same as most other European countries.

Electrical appliances use continental-style two-pin plugs. Power converters can be borrowed at some hotels.

If you visit from the UK, Ireland, Australia or Switzerland, you need to bring a plug adaptor. C and F type plugs generally fit Austrian electricity sockets.

The USA, Canada and a large part of South America have the different 110-127 Volt system, which means many devices from there can only be connected in Austria using a transformer.

In case of an emergency there are three different phone numbers you should know.

• International Emergency Number 112
• Fire and major accidents 122
• Police and rescue coordination centre 133
• Ambulance and medical assistance 144

An extensive exhibition will be held concurrently with the congress.
