If you come by car, the easiest and cheapest way is to park your car somewhere near one of the underground or railway stations at the periphery (make sure you remember where), and use public transport further on. If you want to park at the school venue, please note that parking in the streets in central Vienna during daytime is restricted to residents with a special permit or short periods (you will need a ticket called a "Kurzparkschein" for this).
