From the Summer Stage to the Badeschiff and Strandbar Herrmann - there is a location to suit every mood. This year - on the sunny side of Vienna's Danube Canal - the Tel Aviv Beach is turning into a trendy meeting point with cult potential to mark the 100th anniversary of the Israeli metropolis. Until September, the Danube Canal promises beach feeling with a high chill-out factor, a new cultural institution on the pulse of time, great entertainment acts and lavish delights on an international scale.

Another place to relax at this time of year is the MuseumsQuartier where airy courtyards boast pastimes such as sun loungers, boules and DJ music into the night hours. And Sand in the City , next to Vienna's Konzerthaus, also draws crowds with its lounge and sports areas.
