Included leisure and cultural programme

ActiLingua’s packed programme presents a multi-faceted view of Vienna and Austrian culture. We want to teach you German and interesting things about Austria outside the classroom. For this reason, all German courses feature five units of leisure and cultural programme per week: city walks, lectures, discussions and activities. And the best bit about it: it is included in the price.
