Why choose Vienna for your corporate retreat?
Vienna is consistently ranked as the world’s most liveable city (Mercer Quality of Living), and this high quality of life is reflected in the corporate retreat experience. The city boasts an exemplary public transport system, a dense offering of four- and five-star hotels, and a culinary scene that blends Viennese tradition (Wiener Schnitzel, Sachertorte) with top-tier international cuisine.
What type of venue to choose in Vienna?
The 1st district (Innere Stadt) is home to historic luxury hotels and private palaces converted into event venues. For large-scale conventions (200 to 2,000 people), the Austria Center Vienna is the leading conference centre. Rooms in imperial castles and palaces (Hofburg, Schönbrunn) can be privatised for unforgettable gala evenings.
How to get there
Vienna’s Schwechat Airport (VIE) is served by Austrian Airlines, Ryanair, easyJet, Lufthansa, Air France, and many other carriers from Paris, Lyon, Geneva, Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Barcelona, and all major European capitals. The City Airport Train (CAT) connects the airport to the city centre in 16 minutes.
Per person budget
Vienna offers excellent value for a Western European capital. A two-day all-inclusive residential corporate trip ranges from €180 to €360 per person, depending on hotel category. Prices remain stable year-round, with a slight increase in summer (Wien Festival) and during the holiday season.
