Vienna is one of Europe’s top destinations for city and conference tourism. The world famous cultural life, the unique style of a former imperial capital where East meets
West, and the vast range of leisure activities exert a magnetic attraction.

Vienna not only has the charm of an experienced host, but also the infrastructure and services required for its role. It boasts an international airport, large amounts of quality hotel accommodation, a culinary landscape second to none and an incomparable array of cultural attractions. Vienna also has a host of “green lungs”, stands out for its cleanliness,
and has a well deserved reputation as one of the safest large cities in the world.

Over 1,700 national and international conferences and meetings, attended by around 275,000 delegates — most of them from abroad — take place in this stimulating setting each year. Vienna ranks among the world’s leading destinations for corporate events.

The Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center is located on the edge of the inner city of Vienna, in the heart of the green and pleasant ‘Prater’ recreational area. Vienna International Airport is a mere 30 minutes away and the historical city center can be reached in 20 minutes.

And being situated in the heart of Europe Vienna is ideally linked up to all the international traffic and transport networks. 64 airlines fly to this city on the Danube, from 176 destinations. Vienna can be easily accessed from all over Europe via an international road network, the transit possibilities being complemented by international rail, bus and boat links.

The Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center has consolidated the Austrian capital’s strong position as an international meeting place.

The new exhibition center, inaugurated at the start of 2004, offers sophisticated and versatile facilities. The halls, furnishings and equipment, and architecture assure maximum
functionality and an ideal atmosphere. The Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center consists of five separate buildings with different functions. All are close to each other and linked by covered walkways. The center has 46,000 sqm of gross exhibition space in three exhibition halls (Halls A,
B and C), as well as Hall D — a 9,000 sqm multi-purpose facility which is also equipped for entertainment events. A 450-metre mall connects the four halls, the Congress Center and the two foyers which can both be used separately.
The majority of the five function areas can be divided up and combined according to need. Floor spaces between 500 and 62,000m² accommodate events, whatever the size and type.

The Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress center offers parking for a total of 4,300 vehicles. The complex is hooked up perfectly to the public transport network with two on-site underground U2 stations (station “Messe/Prater” and “Krieau”). Two hotels in walking distance offer accommodation in a total of 500 rooms.
