This is a very popular event amongst locals. More than 350 spotlights and live DJs make sure one really gets the open air disco feeling. During the week DJs are satisfying music wishes from five o’clock on and on weekends they even start at 2pm.

Honestly? To me that kind of activity is only breathtaking because I am going to land on my chest as soon as I step on the ice. I’m very much into sports but this one is just not made for me. Okay, I’ve got to admit the view itself truly is breathtaking.

As ice skating in front of Vienna’s city hall is oh so very special, my friends finally succeeded in convincing me to put on some slides – for the first time in 12 safe-from-harm-years. I’m suspicious of their motive, could be they only did so knowing it’s going to be a hilarious show for them. So if you witness a young woman lying face-down on the ice – that’s probably glorious me! You will only get to see that terrific happening in the area where beginners can skate for free. I guess I’ll be easy to spot among the kids who are no older than eight winters…

A small street, somewhere in the 3rd district in a quiet residential area… who would expect such an authentic Cretan cuisine here. The Taverna Lefteris might look like the typical Greek from around the corner, but the quality of the food is outstanding.

Native extra virgin olive oil is the base of most dishes. Fish specialties are always worth trying here, and the best choices are usually the current seasonal offers (which are usually not written anywhere, so ask the waiter!).

Food is served with a smile by the Greek staff and if you are curious enough to spy, you will see women ruling the kitchen. Open your stomach with a plate of Mesédes (cold or warm entrees) accompanied with homemade bread (incredible good!) and a glass of wine.

Go there for one of their regular live music events for the Greek experience in Vienna

Upcoming: 17.01. Loukia 24.01. Mythos 31.01. Olga RESERVATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
