We also make every effort to fit in last minute bookings - just send us the registration form and deposit. Should your first choice of accommodation (e.g.: host family) already be full, we will do our best to find accommodation for you within your second choice (e.g. student residence). However, when bookings are made at such short notice, there is the risk of accommodation being fully booked altogether.
We will confirm your registration within two working days of receiving your full payment of course and accommodation. We recommend that you pay by credit card as a bank transfer usually takes longer. If we cannot confirm your booking, we will refund your deposit.

As our German courses are often fully booked students should register as soon as possible. The earlier we receive your application and deposit, the easier it is for us to meet your wishes in terms of accommodation and courses.

You share a room with another ActiLingua student who has come to Vienna to learn German. We make every effort to place students of the same age and different nationality together. Of course, you always share a room with a student of the same sex.

In the case of accommodation in Host Families or Apartments, ActiLingua makes every effort to put students of different nationalities and the same age together.

If you would like to stay together with a friend who is also attending an ActiLingua course, then please let us know when you register. We will make every effort to ensure that you are placed together.

Our ActiLingua Residence also serves hotel guests who do not take part in one of our German courses. We are happy to tell you more about our prices. Please contact us for further information!

Alternatively, we recommend that you stay at a hotel or a guesthouse during your German course. Due to the limited number of rooms we are only able to offer accommodation to course participants. If you prefer to hunt for your accommodation yourself, please contact the Vienna Tourist Board.

Should a student, contrary to expectations, be dissatisfied with the accommodation, this should be communicated to the school office in Vienna as soon as possible, however no later than three days after arrival. ActiLingua will then offer a suitable alternative.

ActiLingua Residence: A laundrette service is offered at the Residence (additional costs). A public laundrette is available nearby too. Most Host Families and some Apartments feature washing facilites at cost price. Most Student Houses feature laundrettes. However, as any other metropolis there is a huge number of public laundrettes all over Vienna, which is a good occasion for tuning in on local talk.

Please bring your own towels. Bed linen is provided.

Your room is cleaned weekly. If you have booked accommodation in our ActiLingua Residence your room is cleaned twice weekly (ActiLingua Residence Standard) or even Monday through Friday (ActiLingua Residence Superior). Read more!

Usually the distance between the accommodation and the school is approx. 20-30 minutes (maximum of 40 minutes) by public transport.

We make every effort to ensure that your stay is as pleasant as possible. Accommodation standards are regularly checked by us. We also ask all our students for feedback after their stay. Our landlords are selected with the following criteria in mind:

• Closeness to the school (average of 20-30 minutes, max. 40 minutes) by public transport
• Size, furnishings and fittings in the flat, bathroom facilities and student's room
• Access to the family's communal areas
• Weekly cleaning of the flat and check that everything is OK
• If breakfast or half board is offered, choice of food at breakfast and a three-course hot lunch or dinner
• Opportunity to get to know family members and any other tenants.

Some of our Host Families are young and childless, some have children who attend school and some are older couples whose children are already grown up and live elsewhere.

Please note that you cannot book a room with a private bathroom and toilet at the Host Family. Students generally share the kitchen, bathroom and toilet with other members of the Host Family. If you wish to book a room with a private bathroom, we recommend our Superior Apartment at the ActiLingua Residence. The Superior Apartment (30-40 m2) is for single use with private kitchen, bathroom and toilet.

We offer about 40 places with host families throughout the year and are currently increasing the number. Some Host Families only accept students that book accommodation and board, others prefer female or younger students. We aim at accommodating the wishes of Host Families and students. It can happen that we do not find a suitable Host Family for the student due to incompatible preferences. In this case we always offer a suitable alternative, i.e. an Apartment or accommodation in the ActiLingua Residence.

Your arrival day is Sunday before course start. Please inform your landlord until Tuesday before the start of the course of your exact arrival time.

You will be met by a driver either at the airport (in the arrivals hall) or the railway station (on the platform direct). You can find up-to-date prices on our price sites.

Vienna's transport network is very efficient. There is an underground (U-Bahn), trams, buses and suburban rail network (Schnellbahn). Tickets are available at all tobacconists and at ticket offices in the underground stations.
There are weekly tickets (EUR 17.10), monthly tickets (EUR 51.00), daily tickets (EUR 8.00) and single tickets (EUR 2.40 when purchased in advance). Night owls can travel all over the city by night bus (Ticket: EUR 2.40). Taxis (Tel. +43 60 160 or +43 31 300) are another possibility; there are taxi ranks almost everywhere, and taxis can be ordered by telephone from cafés and restaurants. Information on public transport in Vienna can be found at http://www.vor.at/ sowie http://www.wienerlinien.at/ ; http://www.taxi60160.at/ und http://www.taxi31300.at/ contain details about taxis in Vienna.

Tickets valid for all public transport in Vienna (tube, tram or bus) are available at ticket offices and machines (Sunday, too!) at all tube stations and in all tobacconists (Trafik). Ticket machines accept coins and bills and return the change.

All participants need to register on their first day (Monday) at the school office at 08:30 am.
If we have received the assessment test until Tuesday before course start you are assigned to your course level after a short oral assessment talk. Afterwards, you will learn your course level and schedule (morning or afternoon).
If not, you need to fill in the written assessment test then. This might lead to you missing your first day in class!

Our Host Families will explain the easiest and fastest way to school in all detail and show you on the city map. Then you set out for school independently.

Every course includes 5 lessons/week of cultural and special interest programme. We organize special talks, discussions and videos about Austrian music, art, literature, history and architecture. Films, tours of the many sights of Vienna, parties and sports all form part of the programme.

To broaden your Austrian horizons, we also organize trips at cost price to places in the environs of Vienna and further afield. For instance, you can join us on a trip to Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Graz, the "green heart of Austria" , Budapest, the capital city of Hungary , medieval Klosterneuburg or the famous Wachau region in the Danube valley! If you are doing a course in the summer, you can take a dip in the magnificent Lake Neusiedl or savour Austrian wine at a traditional "Heuriger" wine tavern in one of the finest wine-growing areas. City walks, special interest lectures on Vienna's art, literature, architecture and history, a Waltzing course and a hands-on introduction to Viennese cuisine are some of the highlights of our leisure programme. You can find the programme and more information on activities on our blog.

Our cultural and special interest programme mostly takes place in German. According to our teaching methods German is used exclusively with total beginners, too. We include diverse images and demonstrative graphics to support understanding. For some programmes English language handouts are available on request.

Vienna offers a wide range of activities in every season for sport lovers. The following section provides you with a general picture of the sorts of activities on offer. For further information please consult our comprehensive student manual which will be handed to you at the start of your course.

Vienna has over forty public and private indoor and open-air pools all of which are in immaculate condition and kept very clean. The wonderful Amalienbad and the Erlebnisbad Margareten with its giant water slide, sauna and wild water rapids are both worth a visit. In the summer you can soak up the sun in the midst of an Italian Riviera atmosphere on the Danube Island or settle down for the day at the Krapfenwaldbad and enjoy its spectacular hilltop view of Vienna. Information on all public swimming pools can be found at public baths in Vienna..

For fitness fans Club Danube has the answer. It offers everything your heart desires: tennis, squash, badminton, aerobics and much more. There are 12 branches throughout Vienna, with the headquarters at Franzosengraben (U3 -Erdberg terminus). Fitnessclub Heimlich is just around the corner from our school. Students can attend aerobic and other fitness classes at a reduced rate upon production of an ActiLingua Card.

In the cold winter months we can recommend the Wiener Eislaufverein ice-rink. It is one of the largest artificial rinks in the world, covering 6,200 sqm. Skates can, of course, be hired. The outdoor ice-rink in front of Vienna's City Hall is great fun and can be enjoyed throughout January and February. Skate on the rink and enjoy the city hall's fairytale lights. Those who find skating on an artificial surface too boring can take a trip to the picturesque Lake Neusiedl. When the ice is thick enough, it is magically converted into one of Europe's largest natural ice rinks!

The numerous cycle paths and the Danube Island are perfect for roller skating, inline skating and cycling. Equipment can be hired from Rad- und Skaterverleih 2000 on the Danube Island (Copa Cagrana) at a reduced rate with the ActiLingua Card.

If you are in Austria for the winter you should definitely not miss out on a ski trip. You can practice your skiing at Hohe Wand-Wiese. Semmering - Stuhleck, 113km from Vienna offers yet more opportunities to try out your skiing, featuring cross country trails, toboggan runs and a multitude of beautiful hiking trails as well as pistes to suit all abilities. Skis, snowboards, boots and poles can be hired next to the skilifts.

German instruction takes place from Monday to Friday. You are entirely free to make plans for the weekends and discover Austria on your own. If you prefer to discover Austria with your school mates we offer weekly excursions to favourite destinations (Salzburg, Wachau region, lake Neusiedl or even Budapest) at cost price. For longer trips we recommend that you go before or after the German course.

Vienna is the ideal place to learn German! The Austrian capital combines the convenience of a modern cosmopolitan city with the imperial charm and flair of bygone years. It boasts outstanding infrastructure, is clean and safe, and has all the inspiration you could wish for on a language course. The monuments to its rich history and imperial past capture the imagination of history lovers. Music and art fans swarm to the city, and its vibrant social scene provides fun and entertainment - off the beaten track too. Take a look at our Guide to Vienna and check out Vienna's attractions for yourself!

As is the case with all languages, German has its regional variations, particularly in the way it is spoken. The German speaking territory can be divided into two linguistic areas - Northern German and Southern German. Austria is in the Southern German area. All over the world there are people whose spoken language is different from the standard version and Vienna is no exception. Dialect is not spoken any more or any less here than in other German speaking towns. The German spoken in Austria is pure and melodious, and is regarded by many experts to be the most correct form of the language. At ActiLingua Academy you learn standard German according to a recognized curriculum.

Vienna is one of the safest capital cities in the world. An excellent public transport network of underground trains, trams and buses that extends into the suburbs carries you quickly to your destination from early morning until late at night. You can travel almost all over the city in safety at night too. Vienna boasts all the convenience of a European capital city, but has managed to remain free of the frequently associated dangers of metropolitan life. The friendly atmosphere of calm and "Gemütlichkeit" which the Viennese have elevated to a kind of philosophy runs through the whole city and makes visitors feel at home very quickly.

Austria's climate is generally moderate and mild. Average summer temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C, the average winter temperature is around 0°C. Vienna is exposed to the warm and dry Pannonian climate and the raw Alpine climate so the temperature and weather conditions tend toward extremes. Above-average temperatures or sharp drops in temperature can occur at any time of year. If you come to us in the summer, we recommend that you bring swim wear, waterproofs and a light jacket just to be on the safe side! In the winter, warm clothing and sturdy, waterproof footwear is essential even if blazing sunshine and positive temperatures are forecast for the duration of your stay. Up-to-date weather reports can be found at http://www.wetter.at and at Weather.com.

As well as being in the middle of Europe, Vienna is also in the middle in terms of prices. Since joining the European Union, basic food costs have come into line with those in the rest of the European Union. Products available in the Austria federal capital originate from all over Europe. You will find a wide variety of clothing, textiles, furniture and food products, on sale in open-air markets and modern shopping malls, as well as a host of typical Austrian souvenirs. Vienna is not a particularly cheap tourist destination in European terms, but visitors find it a great place to shop. Food and drink comes in all price categories. There are numerous inexpensive pubs serving good local and international dishes. Main meals cost an average of between EUR 5.00-7.00. Beverages cost between EUR 2.00-4.00. Naturally, you will also find upmarket restaurants in higher price brackets (particularly in the inner city). Here you have to budget for between EUR 11.00-18.00 for a main meal. A good bottle of wine costs EUR 10 upwards.

It goes without saying that food and drink is cheaper at the supermarket: a litre of wine costs as little as EUR 2.50, a can of beer from EUR 0.50, 1 kg of bread approx. EUR 2.00 and a frozen pizza an average of EUR 2.50. Websites of some Austrian supermarket chains:

In the districts 1-9, 12, 14-17 and 20 from Monday to Friday (09:00 am - 10:00 pm) the max. permitted parking period is 2 hours. Short stay parking tickets are available in most tobacconists, at some banks and at public transport ticket counters. Half an hour costs EUR 1.-. Free parking spaces can be found throughout the districts 10,11,13,18,19 and 21-23. Careful: Not all parking spaces are free, short term parking zones are marked in special colours. It is also possible to park in one of the many underground car parks. The Technical University underground car park in Operngasse, 1010 Vienna, for instance, costs approx. EUR 3.50 per hour.
