The best way to get here by using public transport is to travel by the vienna subway, the U-Bahn (here is a subway network map). Fortunately the Karlsplatz station is a U-Bahn hub, so three of the subway lines meet here.

How to get from the Karlsplatz U-Bahn station to the group

To get from the U-Bahn station Karlsplatz to the group follow the presented graphical guide. It shows some of the buildings of the TUV campus at the Karlsplatz.

Argentinierstrasse

Leave the U-Bahn to exit Karlsplatz resp. Resselpark. There you enter a nice park which hosts some monuments of famous Austrian technicians in front of the main building of the Technical University of Vienna as well as a Cafe, a small pond and, of course, the beautiful church of St. Charles Boromeo (Karlskirche). There are some who consider the magnificent St.Charles Boromeo with it's green copula one of the finest examples of baroque architecture of Europe.

Follow the front wall of the old building of the Technical University to the Karlskirche. Walk into Argentinierstraße on the right side of the Karlskirche. The building where the arrow points to at the map above, actually situated at the corner Argentinierstraße and Paniglgasse is the group's home. You will find us in the third floor.
