Vienna has a broad appeal. Landmarks such as St Stephen’s Cathedral, the Imperial Palace and of course the Spanish Riding School sit comfortably in a city equally renowned for a love of modern art, innovative theatre and a buzzing student scene. Set on the River Danube, the city offers a superb, and safe public transport system with trains, the underground and tram networks, making it an easy place to explore.

I’d heard from a friend that the best way to learn German is to live in a German city.  I’d been to Vienna before, loved it and thought why not study there! When I contacted CESA they were quick to respond and gave good advice. They made the booking easy.
My German really improved. I am now a high B2 level. My confidence when speaking German is the big difference though. So pleased I decided to go on this course.
