โ๏ธ Summer in Vienna: what to do around ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐น
Vienna in summer is all about green spaces, culture, long evenings and discovering the city at your own pace โ and from Citadines Danube Vienna, so much is right on your doorstep.
๐ฟ Just a few minutes away, Donaupark is one of the best places to enjoy a sunny day. Take a walk through the park, enjoy a picnic, play a game of tennis or hop aboard the little Liliputbahn for a relaxing ride around the gardens.
For one of the best views in Vienna, head to the top of the Danube Tower โ or admire it from District 22, our rooftop bar located at the top of Citadines Danube Vienna. Itโs the perfect spot to enjoy spectacular views over Vienna and the Danube, especially as the sun goes down. ๐
๐๏ธ And if you feel like shopping, Westfield Donau Zentrum is just across the street, with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafรฉs.
Vienna is also one of Europeโs greenest capitals, with beautiful parks and gardens to explore. Donโt miss the Blumengรคrten Hirschstetten, a colourful botanical escape with themed gardens that are free to visit. ๐ธ
๐จ Looking for a little culture?
At the Belvedere, you can of course see Gustav Klimtโs iconic The Kiss, alongside the museumโs permanent collection. This summer, the Upper Belvedere is also presenting โIN-SIGHT: Johann Baptist Lampi the Elder and the Youngerโ until 11 October, as well as herman de vries: โ108 pounds of lavender flowersโ until 13 September.
๐ Schรถnbrunn Palace is another Vienna essential. Wander through the imperial rooms and gardens, climb up to the Gloriette for a beautiful view, or visit the Imperial Carriage Museum on the palace grounds, where the collection includes imperial coaches and the โSisi Trailโ, featuring Empress Elisabethโs personal carriages, saddle and original gowns.
And if youโre in Vienna on 28 August, the Gloriette at Schรถnbrunn will also host the Austrian final of Red Bull Dance Your Style, bringing street dance to one of the cityโs most spectacular historic settings.
โช And of course, donโt forget Viennaโs classics: St. Stephenโs Cathedral, the historic city centre and countless cafรฉs, museums and architectural gems.
The best part? From Citadines Danube Vienna, Viennaโs major sights are just a quick metro ride away. ๐
Whether youโre looking for nature, culture, shopping or a sunset with a view, Vienna has something for every summer mood.
