Julia from Vienna

About me I was born and raised in Austria, yet not in Vienna. I moved to Vienna for schooling and even though I love the nature and quietness of...

"The Vienna government supports the summer concerts and cultural spots popping up, so we can enjoy tons of activities for free. Lucky us, and lucky you!"

Why the Viennese love summer: All over the city, cultural stages pop up. The city government supports them, so we enjoy tons of activities for free. Lucky us, aaaand lucky you!

Where you can find the fun: There's MQ Summer Stage with various acts. After a few years, the cosy Platzkonzerte at WUK are back [June 14 - July 5]!

Then the Musik am Fluss tour will stop in three different green areas next to the water in Vienna, offering a colourful variety of young music [June 27 - July 18].

Offering a broad-ranged program in most districts, the Viennese Cultural Summer, with many small stages, invites you to enjoy concerts, dance shows, plays, readings, and comedy. Find the full program here. All spots are accessible, and your dogs are welcome, too - with a lead and muzzle [June 28 - August 11]. Basiskultur also comes up with cool ideas.

An area with the flair of a cosy lounge is waiting for you at the Film Festival at Rathausplatz - find the complete list here [June 29 - September 1]. They show concerts on a 300 m² screen, so I also included it in my open-air cinema article. Before the KARLSkino outdoor movie festival takes over, Popfest will bring cool music to the city [July 25-28].
