TU Wien is located in the heart of Vienna, in a place with the highest cultural density in Europe. Within a few minutes walk you can reach the opera, the Secession, the Semperdepot, the Musikverein, the Wien Museum and the baroque Karlskirche.

The opening to their urban environment and the positioning of the TU as a culture-interested but also culture-creating institution are firmly anchored in the TU UniverCity project.
