The capital of Austria is located in the northeast of the country, in Central Europe

Vienna is the capital and the biggest austrian city with a population about 1.8 million. It's a very dynamic, modern and open city with a perfect public transport system. City biking is a part of everyday life there. The old part (1st district) of Vienna offers many monuments, interesting museums, restaurants but also beautiful parks where you can have a picnic. For roller coast lovers there is the Prater. I recommend swimming in the Danube river in summer, it is quite clean and very refreshing.

"Austria offers beautiful mountains, natural parks, amazing lakes, so it's a paradise especially for hiking lovers . You should visit Salzburg or St.Wolfgangsee (but it's quite pricey). There are Westbahn trains going between Vienna and Salzburg, which are much cheaper and very comfortable. For those who are planning few out-of-Vienna trips there is a Summer ticket valid for all the OBB trains during whole summer (I didn't buy it but it pays off after 2 trips).
For one-day trip in Vienna you can climb up the Kahlenberg hill and enjoy the view (there is also a bus going up there).
Adventurous people can go by bike to Bratislava (or you can just take a bus or train to get there).
There are also many IAESTE weekends organised in neighboring countries so you can go to Germany, Hungary, Slovenia or Slovakia.. "

Lallemand - a privately-held Canadian company founded in Montreal. The company specializes in the development, production, and marketing of yeasts and bacteria. It is world-wide spread and it has offices in 40 countries. The Vienna plant is located in Ottakringer, right next to a brewery.

I worked in a chemical laboratory of quality. We were always more interns there, so we shared work. Our task was to analyze samples of different kinds of yeasts (analytical chemistry mostly - protein, phosporus and dry matter content, microscopy, dough growing power of yeasts). The work was not too demanding, but all the colleagues and supervisors were very nice to me and and also very helpful in case I needed anything.

1260 EUR/month, more than sufficient

English - very good / German - good (I had no knowledge of German and everything was fine, everyone speaks English very well)

550 EUR for 6 weeks in a private room in a shared flat, I found it by myself via Airbnb.

"I was picked up at the train station by an IAESTE member and she took me to my flat. The first working day another IAESTE member accompanied me to work and helped me with a Meldezettel (neccessary registration in Vienna).
During the whole stay there were many events organised by IAESTE and I joined most of them. Everyone was super nice and really helpful, thanks!"

I arrived at the same time as most of trainees, there were maybe 30 of us in Vienna from both BOKU and Vienna LC. We met first during Iaeste events and then we spent a lot of time together after work just hanging out/trips/beer/swimming.

Vienna is perfect for biking along the Danube or the Donaukanal. You can go swimming to a public or private beach. There are also few parks where you can go jogging (Prater, or along the Donaukanal). There are many cultural events such as music festivals or you can visit many museums, cinemas, theaters.

You definitely need to try a famous Wiener Schnitzel, Marillenknödels, Sachercake or Mozartkugeln. Otherwise, austrian cuisine is very similar to the czech one and the supermarket prices are also very similar. Of course, eating out is much more expensive (approximately 10EUR for a meal in a restaurant, 4 - 5.5 EUR for a beer).

Very easy, thanks to the same tariff prices, plus Internet, Skype

Enjoy Vienna, the city has an amazing atmosphere.
