Film Festival
am Rathausplatz (July - August)

One of the summer highlights and an absolut must for friends of operas is the Film Festival in front of the Vienna City Hall. Each night a different film connected to operas is presented on the collosal screen. There is no entrance fee and a collection of different international cuisines is pampering your stomach.

The beautiful facade of Vienna's City Hall adds to the atmosphere. In between city hall building and ring boulevard there is a spacious park and an open space which is used for the open air cinema in sommer und for a popular christkindl market in winter and other activities.
