Be active at Donauinsel
You can rent a bike, charter a boat, a kayak or a Stand-Up Paddle at Donauinsel and spend an entire day on the green oasis in Vienna. You can also swim in the Old Danube, either at Gänsehäufl Bad or somewhere along the river. Several restaurants and bars offer outdoor waterfront seating.
Visit Film Festival at Rathausplatz
The 2020 film festival in Vienna also had to adapt to the current situation. Nonetheless it is taking place from July 4 to September 6. You can find more information and see the schedule here.
Visit a Heurigen
Did you know that Vienna is the only capital in the world that produces enough wine to support its almost 2 million inhabitants? Try a “Gemischter Satz” or a “Grüner Veltliner” if you prefer white wine. As a red wine, we recommend a glass of “Zweigelt”. Vienna has various charming Heurige (traditional wine taverns) in the hills. Check out the 10 best Heurigen in Vienna.
Get on a Fiaker ride
Much like the gondolas in Venice, Vienna is known for its horse-drawn carriages, named Fiaker. You can find Fiakers at Stephansplatz and in front of other main attractions in the city center and take a tour through the old town.
Enjoy the view from a rooftop bar
Vienna's old town looks amazing from above. The rooftop bars with the best views include Lameé Rooftop, Das Loft, Sky Bar, Dachboden and Kleinod.
Get a drink on the urban Donaukanal
The Donaukanal became the summer hot spot in Vienna. Several pop up restaurants and bars offer street food, cocktails and a place in the sun. Sit back in a beach chair, have a cocktail and enjoy the urban vibes.
Eat “Eismarillenknödel”
The typical Austrian ice cream specialty “Eismarillenknödel” (iced apricot dumplings) is a must for ice cream lovers. You can get them at Tichy.
Have brunch outdoors
If you can make a reservation ahead of time, we recommend the following brunch options in Vienna: Palmenhaus, Gerstner's Landhaus or Motto am Fluss. Check out our selection of top 10 brunch places in Vienna.
Visit a local market
While Naschmarkt is Vienna's largest and most famous market, there are several other smaller markets that are worth a visit, such as Karmelitermarkt and Rochusmarkt.
Have a picknick at a Viennese Park
Besides Stadtpark, which is on most of the traveler's itinerary, there are plenty of other gorgeous parks in the green capital Vienna. Pack your picknick bag and enjoy a Sunday morning at Volksgarten, Burrgarten or Augarten.
Visit the amusement park Prater
Vienna's monument, the Wiener Riesenrad, is situated on the upper side of the amusement park Prater. When travelling with kids, you should spare a few extra hours to browse through the Prater and visit a ghost house.
Visit a Beer Garden
Austrians are often associated with beer drinking. If you are a beer person yourself, make sure to visit a Viennese beer garden. Within the amusement park Prater, you will find the largest and most famous beer garden, the Schweizerhaus, known for its beer and pork knuckle (Stelze).
Schedule a day trip to Wachau valley
Either by boat, rental car or organized bus tour, you can spend a day in the famous wine region Wachau valley. Prepare to hike a little to get to the good spots where you can enjoy a good glass of wine and traditional Austrian food. We recommend a boat tour from the city center in Vienna.
