About this event
Vienna's beloved open-air summer institution turns the City Hall square into a giant outdoor cinema for over two months. The vast LED screen shows concert films, operas, classical recordings, musicals and operetta highlights nightly from dusk, while dozens of gourmet food-and-drink stalls run by top Viennese restaurateurs turn the plaza into a festival village from late morning to midnight.
Why we picked it
One of Europe's largest free open-air screen events, running every single night of the window at an iconic central venue - a perennial visitor and local favourite with unbeatable atmosphere.
