On Monday, August 16, we offer a guided evening walking tour

cathedral, opera, emperor's palace, etc.). Costs for the tour: EUR 13
per person.
On Wednesday, August 18, we will organize an afternoon trip to the
town of Klosterneuburg north of Vienna. The tour will first lead us to
the famous abbey.
Afterwards you can choose between
attending a wine tasting or trying the famous "Sachertorte". On the way
back we will make a stop at Kahlenberg, one of the Viennese local
mountains with a wonderful view over the city.

Conference dinner will be on Thursday evening (August 19) at the
Vienna observatory.
Inaugurated by Emperor Franz Josef I in 1883, the University Observatory
still hosts the most important astronomical research and teaching
institution of Austria. It combines - in a unique fashion - the beauty
and representative architecture of the late 19th century with modern
international research. Costs per person: 26 EUR
