The Vienna Campus of Central European University (Q51) can be found in Favoriten, the 10th district of Vienna, at Quellenstrasse 51-55. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to get there from Wien-Hauptbahnhof, the central railway station (take metro U1 from the railway station to Reumannplatz, then take tram nr. 6 to Absberggasse, which takes you right to the campus).
Vienna Campus
Location: Quellenstrasse 51-55, 1100 Vienna, Austria
Campus Front Desk Phone: +43 01 252307111
Austria international dialing code: +43
Vienna area code: 01
To call a local number within your own area, dial the number only. You don’t have to dial the area code.
To call to another area, dial the respective area code first. When calling within Austria, you have to dial "0" followed by the area code (i.e. 01 for Vienna). Area codes and phone numbers in Austria are variable length: for some big cities you have just a 2-digit code (Vienna = 01), for most of the rest, it is a 4-digit prefix code.
To call from abroad to a number in Austria, dial your international access number (usually 00), followed by the country code of Austria and then the area code without the 0 (i.e. 0043-1 for Vienna)
If you are not sure how to dial a number, just add the country and area prefix, this will work in any case.
To make a call from a mobile phone to a fixed line number, you always have to add the area prefix code.
To call from a mobile to another mobile phone, you must add the prefix code of the mobile service provider of the person you are calling (0664 for A1, 0699 for ONE, 0676 for T-mobile (now Magenta), 0650 for Tele-ring and 0660 for Drei). This is less complicated because people will always give their mobile number with the code.

Pharmacies on duty (off-hour openings)
In Austria, pharmacies are obligated by law to participate in so-called “nightshifts”, they are then referred to as “Notfallapotheke” or Nachtapotheke”.
There is a complex system in place which distributes these shifts amongst the pharmacies, ensuring that there is always an open pharmacy nearby 24/7. This entails that the pharmacy on duty on one day very likely isn’t the same one on duty a couple of days afterwards, meaning it is necessary to always check which pharmacy is open before heading out.
All pharmacies usually provide the information about the nearest “Nachtapotheke” by putting a poster on their closed doors, or you could use the search engine on www.apothekenindex.at. If you use a pharmacy out of normal office hours, you will be charged a one-off fee per visit (not per bought item), which is 3,80 € for nighttime visits (between 8:00 – 20:00) and 1,30€ for daytime visits on weekends and public holidays (between 8.00 – 20.00).
