We’ve rounded up all the must-do, must-see, must-experience things to soak up the season in style. Because let’s be real – springtime in Vienna is too pretty to waste, and we’re making it our mission to uncover every hidden corner and fresh new spot before summer steals the spotlight.
Sun, Sips & Sailboats – Meet You at the Old Danube
Craving a break from the hustle? The Old Danube is basically Vienna’s answer to a mini vacation. Think tranquil water, sun on your face, and a serious dose of nature-chic. One minute it’s a breezy walk, the next it’s a lakeside rendezvous with French vibes and a cheeky crêpe. And let’s not forget: boat rides with picnic baskets under the moonlight? Très romantique. It’s giving spring fever – in the best way.
Ice Cream Is a Season, Not a Snack
Let’s get one thing straight: spring is ice cream’s official comeback tour. And Vienna? Serving scoop after scoop of temptation. Whether it’s iconic old-school parlors like Tichy or the hipster heaven of Veganista and Schelato, every gelato-lover is covered. Fruity, creamy, dairy-free or triple-chocolate decadence – go ahead, call it a marathon. No judgment here.
Pedal Power is Main Character Energy
Two wheels, one city, endless vibes. Spring is prime time to pump those tires and ride into your next Vienna adventure. Whether it’s cruising along the Donauinsel, gliding through the Prater, or getting lost on the dreamy Wienflussweg, this is urban exploring – extra scenic edition. Traffic jam? Never heard of her.
Lilac Dreams & Forgotten Gravestones
It’s giving secret garden – just with a little Gothic edge. From late April to early May, St. Marx Cemetery turns into a lilac lover’s paradise. Blooming bushes wrap around weathered gravestones, filling the air with sweet fragrance and a touch of poetic drama. A must-see for anyone who prefers their floral moments with a hint of mystery.
Stamp It Like It’s Hot: Hiking with a Purpose
Twelve city hiking trails, one goal: collect stamps like it’s a Pokémon challenge. Each trail offers a new slice of Vienna – lush vineyards, hidden gems, panoramic views, and the occasional Heuriger pit stop (because hydration matters). The routes are well-marked, public transport-friendly, and yes, 100 percent spring-approved.
Spritzers, Sand, and Sunset Glow at the Canal
As soon as the first rays hit the water, the Donaukanal turns into Vienna’s unofficial spring runway. Whether you’re lounging on the grass or sinking into a deck chair at Strandbar Herrmann, the vibes are immaculate. Barefoot, sun-kissed, and with a cocktail in hand – it’s the only way to do after-work in the city. Cheers to golden hour.
