castles, palatial residences and grand town houses.

24.04 Monday

We will take the Koblenz cable car from Konrad-

Adenauer-Ufer to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
mountain station. This trip will only take us a few
minutes. The cable car is 100 % accessible and can
transport up to 7,600 passengers per hour. With
its panoramic cabins, it promises an unforgettable
trip over the Rhine and is surely one of the greatest
attractions in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Enjoy
breath-taking views, ascend over 112 meters and
discover the beautifully landscaped park on the
fortress plateau. When descending you can literally
look forward to one of the most beautiful cities at the
confluence of Rhine and Mosel.

We will have the unique opportunity to meet the mayor

of Koblenz who agreed to do a Question and Answer
(Q&A) session with us. This Q&A session will give you
the chance to get a deeper understanding of a city
where a cable car forms part of the transport network.
After a short lunch break we will head off to Frankfurt
Airport from where we fly to Vienna.

Vienna
Vienna (German: Wien) is the capital and largest
city of Austria. It also forms one of the federal states
of Austria. Vienna is Austria’s primary city, with a
population of about 1.8 million and its cultural,
economic, and political centre. Until the beginning of
the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking
city in the world. Apart from being regarded as the
City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is
also said to be “The City of Dreams” because it was
home to the world’s first psycho-analyst – Sigmund
Freud.

The UN-Habitat has classified Vienna as the most

prosperous city in the world in 2012/2013. The city
was ranked 1st globally for its culture of innovation in
2007 and 2008, and sixth globally (out of 256 cities)
in the 2014 Innovation Cities Index. Vienna regularly
hosts urban planning conferences and is often used
as a case study by urban planners.
