Vienna's lifeball is a surprising success
story. It was started in 1993 in Vienna as an AIDS charity event
and quickly became the biggest, most color- and successful event
of its sort throughout Europe.
In 1960 Vienna's major film festival Viennale
took place for the first time. Since then it has aimed to present
international and Austrian films of high-quality and is proud
of its international reputation.
During February we enjoy the spectacular
façade of the Vienna city hall on ice skates. Visiting
the Vienna Eistraum is one of the winter highlights in Vienna!
'Wiesen' is not an event, its an institution.
From June to end of August numerous festivals, concerts and
events take place ranging from jazz, rock, pop, hip hop and
reggae.
