Vienna: Feel at home in the heart of Europe

Austria is not only beautiful and appealing, it is also one of the safest countries in the world. Its capital Vienna offers an exceptional quality of life, is green, safe and multifaceted. A reliable public transport system connects famous sights like St. Stephan’s cathedral, Belvedere and Schönbrunn castle, house Hundertwasser and takes you from your accommodation to ActiLingua Academy and later to your school. In your free time you discover the city, go to the movies, to a concert, visit Viennese Prater or work out at your sport club.
