Vienna International Minesweeper Meeting 2007 - Hints

public transports

The one week vienna ticket goes from monday to monday - so if you plan to stay for a bit longer it's economical to arrive on monday!
The 72 hour ticket is not much cheaper than the week ticket, but it is a good choice if you stay for the weekend only.

Meeting Point

Schwedenplatz (at the Rotenturmstraße)
Just follow the signs 'Rotenturmstraße' in the underground station 'Schwedenplatz' (U1, U4) then you can't miss it. From there we can launch sightseeing or other activities.
