Schwechat / Vienna
As the name suggests, the Wien Schwechat Cup takes place in Schwechat on the outskirts of Vienna, where the city turns into the friendly countryside along the Danube. Schwechat (21,000 inhabitants) has a modest centre. Most of the hustle and bustle can be found on Hauptplatz near the church. From the local train station, the train takes you in 15 minutes to the heart of Vienna - the city with many attractions such as famous buildings like the Hofburg Royal Palace and the State Opera, the cosy Altstadt around St. Stephen's Cathedral and, of course, the Prater amusement park.
