REGISTRATION
TEAM REGISTRATION
ARBITRATOR REGISTRATION
Registration is accomplished by completion and submission of the registration form, which may be done starting from September onwards. Registration is confirmed by payment of the registration fee. The registration fee must be paid until mid of December 2025 unless specific permission for later payment has been given by the Directors of the Moot. The registration starts at the beginning of September.
The arbitrator registration opens at the beginning of September and closes at the end of January or whenever capacity is reached. Arbitrators who already participated in the Vis Moot before, have already an arbitrator account and can use the “arbitrator login” instead of the “arbitrator registration” which is only meant for arbitrators who are new to the Vis Moot.

LEISURE PROGRAMME
CITY TOUR – HAVE YOUR FIRST DATE WITH VIENNA
First dates with a city are always special. A little nervousness, tingling in the stomach, but above all anticipation. Discovering as much as possible would be nice, but no stress, three-four time is enough – especially on historical ground. What to expect? VIENNA. From St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the Hofburg Palace and the State Opera, we will show you all the postcard places and must sees of the city center. It’s important to make a good first impression after all. We are always by your side to ensure that your date goes well. If it does, we also organize weddings, but step by step.
Available dates:
SUNDAY, 29 March 2026 14:00 PM (2h tour)
WEDNESDAY, 1 April 2026: 14:00 PM (2h tour)
COSTS: 35€ per person payable directly to Rebel Tours via the booking process
MEETING POINT: Opera fountain in front of Hotel Bristol 1010 Vienna
HIDDEN TOUR – VIENNA IS A GEM
A walk through hidden gems full of exciting anecdotes and history. Turn left behind St. Stephen’s Cathedral, walk through the historical passages, past the open balconies and suddenly it’s quiet. There is neither the sound of the carriages nor from Schnitzels being pounded. It’s as if someone had turned off the Viennese city music. The centuries-old inner courtyards of the first district lie in the shadow of the grand buildings, yet they can still compete with them. From the infamous blood alley and Vienna’s oldest Inn to the site of the most famous ass-kick in the city’s history. Vienna as you have never experienced it before.
Available dates:
MONDAY, 30 March 2026: 10:00 AM (2h tour)
WEDNESDAY, 1 April 2026: 10:00 AM (2h tour)
COSTS: 35€ per person payable directly to Rebel Tours via the booking process
MEETING POINT: Eissalon am Schwedenplatz (Franz-Josefs-Kai 17)
ALTERNATIVE VIENNA – WE INTRODUCE YOU TO A DIFFERENT VIENNA
Step into Vienna’s creative side as we explore Neubau, Vienna’s 7th district, and Spittelberg—once artisan quarters, now vibrant hubs of culture and street art. Between historic façades and narrow alleys, we’ll discover street art murals by artists like Ruin and Huariu, hidden graffiti gems, and house walls turned into urban canvases. Along the way, we will walk past unique vintage shops, cozy cafés, and concept stores that define the district’s alternative charm while giving you historical insights. A walk through history, creativity, and local life—Vienna, beyond the usual sights.
Available dates:
TUESDAY, 31 March 2026: 14:00 PM (2h tour)
COSTS: 35€ per person payable directly to Rebel Tours via the booking process
MEETING POINT: Main entrance Museumsquartier (next to MQ shop)
