Aurora Vienna

Top of the skyline

"The rooftop bar on the 16th floor is the undisputed star of the many rooftop bars that sprung open in recent years with a stunning view of the inner city."

You have never seen modern Vienna that way: The artsy luxury hotel Andaz is located in the new district around the main train station. Arguably one of the most successful and smart city development areas in Vienna. The rooftop bar on the 16th floor is the undisputed star of the many rooftop bars that sprung open in recent years. The stylish indoors with a snuggly open fire and floor-to-ceiling window walls will get you in the mood for a great night out. The bar never disappoints, whether as a starting point for a long night or a nightcap on the way to the hotel room (or home).

Aurora pays tribute to the northern lights, the results of fancy Scandinavian drinks served at the worldly bar. The stunning view of the inner city - that even tops the historic and famed Canaletto view is worth the trip. And yes, even the hefty prices. No wonder you can hardly claim a spot on balmy summer nights when the whole town wants to take a sip at this rooftop bar.
