Van Swieten Saal - Ceremonial hall of the Medical University of Vienna and hotspot for events from medicine and science
The central location near Vienna's city center, the Vienna General Hospital (AKH), and the Old General Hospital (Altes AKH) campus offers hotels, restaurants, and cultural highlights in the immediate vicinity.
Right next to the Van Swieten Hall, the Josephinum houses the collections of the Medical University, including approximately 1,200 remarkable anatomical wax models. A few minutes' walk away are the Fool's Tower (Narrenturm) with its pathological-anatomical collection and the Sigmund Freud Museum. In the courtyards of the Old General Hospital, formerly the assembly hall of the Second Vienna Medical School of the 19th and early 20th centuries, outdoor cafes now provide the perfect atmosphere to relax and reflect on a day of scientific discussion.
