Eighth International Phonology Meeting

How to get there

The Eighth International Phonology Meeting will be held from 1-3 November 1996 in the lecture room of the Department of Linguistics, University of Vienna, located at Berggasse 11 in the 9th District of Vienna, on the corner of Berggasse and Liechtensteinstrasse.

Outside Austria

• By air: to Vienna Airport, located in Schwechat (a small town southeast of Vienna). Take an airport shuttle bus into Vienna, which brings you to the City Air Terminal at Landstrasse/Wien Mitte. From there take U-Bahn U4 (green, direction “Heiligenstadt”) to Schottenring, then U2 (purple, direction “Karlsplatz”) to "Schottentor".
• By rail: to Wien Westbahnhof (from the west) or Südbahnhof (from all other directions). From Westbahnhof take U-Bahn line U3 (yellow, direction "Erdberg") to "Volkstheater" and line U2 (purple, direction "Schottenring") to "Schottentor". From Südbahnhof take tram 18 one stop to Südtirolerplatz, then U-Bahn line U1 (red, direction "Kagran") to Karlsplatz and U2 (purple, direction "Schottenring") to "Schottentor".
• By car: there are no special problems, but beware of parking restrictions (ask about them at your hotel).

Within Vienna

The Department is within easy walking distance of the centre of Vienna, and can be reached by the U-Bahn (underground/subway) line U2, by tram (lines 37, 38, 40, 41, 42) or by bus (line 40A).

• U-Bahn: Line U2, stop "Schottentor, Universität". Take the exit "Liechtensteinstrasse", not the exit "Universität", and you will emerge in Liechtensteinstrasse at the point shown on the map below.
• Tram: Lines 37, 38, 40, 41 and 42, stop "Schwarzspanierstrasse". You will find yourself at the top of Berggasse (Berg="hill"), and have an easy walk down to the Department.
• Bus: Line 40A, stop "Liechtensteinstrasse". The bus stops at the crossroads (with traffic lights) immediately outside the Department, and is therefore not specially marked on the map.
• Car: follow the road signs to the centre of town ("Zentrum") until you reach the Ring (which has various prefixes such as "Kärntner-", "Burg-" etc.). This is one-way in a clockwise direction. Follow the Ring to "Währingerstrasse": turn left into "Währingerstrasse", then (immediately after the second set of traffic lights) right into "Türkenstrasse". (Beware: You cannot turn right from Währingerstrasse into Berggasse itself, and will finish up miles away.) In Türkenstrasse take the first turn left ("Wasagasse") then the first right into "Berggasse" and park immediately. See the note in the Second Circular on parking.
