Events in Vienna

German is the key to endless possibilities - whether for professional growth, academic achievements, or cultural exploration. With over 100 million native speakers, it's one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe. The German language opens access to world-class education, global careers, and rich traditions and literature.

On popular demand we are now offering structured and fun online courses for everyone eager to build/improve their German skills.

Bite-sized and designed around experiential learning, they fit well into tight urban schedules. Number of participants per course level is limited and spots are assigned on a first-come first-served basis.

Night is falling, south of town
Streetlights flashing, windows down
Hidden pathways, fireflies
Beneath the endless starstruck skies
While in the warehouse, district rats
Play hide and seek with alley cats

Feeling adventurous enough to join us on this lights-off walking tour through one of Vienna's least touristy neighborhoods? Go full-on local and explore repurposed factories, hidden back alleys, a theme park built for 19th-century brick workers and a million-dollar panoramic view.

Crossing train tracks over narrow footbridges, we'll also venture right through imperial army barracks from 1850 gentrified into private residences. Rumour has it this place is haunted, thus avoid eye contact with lone passers-by.

Route will be half-urban, half-nature and partly unlit. In case of severely bad weather, this event will be cancelled and refunded.

15 million years ago, the iconic Sandberg right over the Slovak border formed the coastline of the late tertiary sea. Today, shark teeth, turtle shells and other relics can still be found scattered in its dunes. Appreciating this prehistoric significance (and far-reaching view into the Austrian Marchfeld) we slowly follow our trail up the slopes. Standing tall at 514m, the Devínska Kobyla peak generously rewards us with a jaw-dropping panorama over three (some say even four) countries. Walking downhill through a decommissioned Soviet-era missile base, we soon re-enter pristine forest surroundings in search for the mystical White Rock - and eventually visit the remains of Villa Rustica, an ancient Roman spa presiding over the Veľká lúka plains. Net hiking time will be ~3 hours.

Our hike wraps up with a well-deserved group dinner inside the nearby Bory Mall food court with plenty of Slovak/international delicacies at your own taste and budget - or just bring your own food.

Total time: ~8 hours
Language: English

The Gutenstein Alps with their iconic John's Creek Canyon are located only 1.5 hours South of Vienna. You definitely should have been there at least once. It's like visiting a mini-version of Switzerland, complete with grazing cows and snow-covered ridges afar.

Price includes train tickets, beverage and friendly host. Discounts available for repeat participants, train pass holders and groups.
