Both in brief
Austria’s leading technical university — strong in computer science, architecture and engineering — right in the city on Karlsplatz. Between the Karlskirche, Resselpark and Naschmarkt, studying gets about as urban as it comes.
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.
