Open-air summer in Vienna

When the temperature in summer is high, there is nothing I like better than spending as much time as possible outdoors. Sometimes I feel like watching an old sci-fi film under the stars or listening to a reading of modern literature. With the wealth of open-air events on offer in Vienna, it is difficult to decide what should be on the programme first. That’s why you will find here a small but very fine selection of my favourite events for a successful summer in Vienna.

Celebrating in the open air

What comes to mind when you think of summer other than sunshine? Festivals, right! Because what would Vienna be like in summer without open-air concerts and cool after-work drinks in the open air? Above all the latter is possible in the coolest places in the city. My personal highlight is the Techno Café - worth a visit even just because of its unique location! A further fixed point for me is the pop festival at the end of July on Karlsplatz in Vienna. Especially the acts on the lake stage directly in front of the Charles Church are all pretty cool! Tip: it pays to come as early as possible, especially in the Techno Café. Otherwise you may have to queue a little bit longer. ;)
