Accommodation

Host family
One of the best ways to gain an insight into the Viennese and Austrian culture in general is to opt for accommodation with a host family during your stay in Vienna. In this way, you will be able to practise your German daily in an authentic and relaxed atmosphere. The host families are carefully selected by our partner school and generally live around 30 minutes away from the language school building. You will stay in a double or single room with half board or breakfast only provided.

Shared apartment
Students who wish to have more independence and share with other international students during their stay also have the option of staying in a shared apartment, which is located around 15 minutes away from the language school building. There are an average of 2 bedrooms per apartment and students stay in a double or single room without meals included. You will share a bathroom, kitchen and dining room with your flatmates.

Residence "Actilingua"
Actilingua acquired its own residence at the end of 2006. Located in the 11th Bezirk (district), around 10 minutes from the school by public transport and close to the Gasometer Shopping Centre, it has been entirely renovated in the “Jugendstil”(art nouveau) style, typical of Vienna. The building is equipped with a WiFi connection and it is possible to stay in a double or single room with half board, breakfast only or no meals provided.

Leisure

The school organizes several activities in the afternoon and in the evening so that you can be introduced to the different aspects of Austrian culture. Most of the activities are included in the price and on the course programme, 5 periods per week are dedicated to cultural issues. Conferences, debates and video screenings concerning Vienna’s rich cultural heritage in relation to literature, music, history and architecture are scheduled, as well as guided visits to the city’s principal attractions. In addition, there will be parties and sporting activities.
