About Viena, Austria
Viena, the famous city of art, culture and music, is an undoubtedly safe and attractive place to learn German.
Strolling around the city center's narrow alleyways or suddenly stumbling upon a grand Baroque square, everything you see here will seem a dream reminiscent of emperors and kings, of Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Musil and Schniztler. They all lived in Viena.
Nowadays, youthfulness has tinted this old city's walls with vibrant colors, new theaters, unique art, modern culture and all kinds of bars and cafes from punk to bohemian to elegant.
The German School
Our language school was founded in 1988 and is a world-renowned private institution with a highly successful teaching program, an unparalleled learning environment and extremely modern facilities. The center is open all year round and located in the heart of Viena.

Host Families
The families may be young couples with or without children, or older people who live alone and have children who work. The home stay is by far the best way to practice German outside the classroom and get to know the country's people and culture. You can choose between a double or single room with breakfast or half board.
Residences
If you'd like a to be independent and get to know Austrian students, we recommend this type of accommodation. Single and double rooms with half or full board are available.
