The main
tourist office
of the Vienna Tourist Board or
Wiener Tourismusverband
is behind the opera house on Albertinaplatz (daily 9am-7pm; tel 21114-222; phone enquiries Mon-Fri 8am-4pm only;
www.info.wien.at
). There are only a few leaflets on open display, but if you have a specific enquiry the staff will happily help out. It's worth asking for the latest
Museums
leaflet, listing all the current opening times. Other leaflets include the tourist board's monthly
Programm
for opera, concert and theatre schedules, and upcoming exhibitions and events. Depending on your age, you might prefer to try the youth-oriented tourist office,
Jugendinfo
, at Babenbergerstrasse 1 (Mon-Sat noon-7pm;
www.jugendinfowien.at
), on the corner of the Ringstrasse. There are also
information desks
at the airport (daily 8.30am-9pm) and at the Westbahnhof (daily 7am-10pm).
For the most comprehensive and critical
listings
, you need the weekly tabloid
Falter
(A¶S28/a?¬2.03;
www.falter.at
), which comes out on Wednesdays. Even if your German isn't great, you should be able to decipher the pull-out
Wienprogramm & Lexicon
section, which contains the week's listings. A cheaper alternative is the free weekly,
Winside
(
www.winside.cc
), which comes out every Thursday, or the monthly
Wien Magazin
(A¶S28/a?¬2.03;
www.wienmagazin.at
), which gives you a whole month's listings. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
