A Tale of Two Viennas

June 4–7, 2026

Welcome to the Vienna retreat hub. I’m very much looking forward to exploring the city’s intellectual heritage with you at the retreat, through philosophical dialogue, walks, food, and drinks.

This hub is your quick reference for the retreat. The guidebook has the full detail on everything.

For any questions, reach me at [email protected]. A WhatsApp group will be set up for coordination closer to the date.

Getting There

Vienna Airport (VIE) is well connected to the city. The S-Bahn (S7) runs to Wien Mitte with a connection to the metro from there. The City Airport Train (CAT) is the faster option, direct to Wien Mitte in about 16 minutes.

For Thursday, the meeting point for dinner will be shared via WhatsApp closer to the date.

Key Documents

Everything for the retreat lives in the shared Google Drive folder. The cards below link directly to the most important documents.
