Amadeus Concerts Vienna, our new partner, offers the perfect setting to enjoy Viennese classical music. At the Haus des Meeres, the former anti-aircraft tower, it’s not just the animals that stay cool. The rooftop bar promises a 360-degree view of Vienna. With the new seats at the Planetarium Vienna and exciting shows, you’ll automatically relax under Vienna’s starry sky.

We’ll tell you how to find the over 1,500 drinking fountains during your stay in Vienna in the corresponding blog post. The Stammstrecke closure is still in full swing, but you can still get around. You’ll find all the details on this in the blog as well.

Summer is always an open-air season. The KulturSommerWien, the Danube Island Festival, the Film Fest on City Hall Square, and of course Kino am Dach will give you that perfect vacation feeling.
