Both in brief

One of Europe’s most renowned medical universities, joined with the AKH — research and clinic under one roof. Around it, a dense slice of the 9th district, superbly connected.

The largest and oldest university in the German-speaking world (1365), broad from law to humanities and the sciences. The main building on the Ring shapes the corner around the Votivkirche — antiquarian bookshops, coffee houses and students included. A place with tradition, right in the city.
