Summer is finally here again. And with it hot days in the heart of the city. In addition to a trip to the Vienna Woods, to one of the many outdoor pools in the city or to the Danube, there are also a number of ways in the heart of the city to escape the heat for a few minutes or hours.
old walls
The centuries-old stone walls of the numerous churches and crypts, which offer protection from the sun on particularly hot days, are particularly suitable for this. In the Karlskirche (4th district) or in the Stephansdom (1st district) you can escape the heat. In addition, the churches regularly offer a musical program in summer.
Action & Comedy
Those with a taste for more fast-paced entertainment can wait for the evening in one of the air-conditioned cinemas, together with popcorn and an ice-cold drink. The Apollo cinema at Gumpendorfer Straße 63 (6th district) or the Artis International at shoulder street 5 (1st district), for example, are air-conditioned and offer a wide range of films for every taste. From cartoons to action to scary horror films, there is something for every age group.
Education & Arts
Even those who want to do something for education can leave the summer degrees behind. Because paintings and antique treasures like it dark and cool. Whether in the ancient collection of the Museum of Cultural History (1st, Maria-Theresien-Platz), with the paintings in the Albertina (1st, Albertinaplatz), in the Leopold Museum (7th, MuseumsQuartier) or on a trip around the world in the Weltmuseum Wien (1st ., Heroes’ Square). And the Haus des Meeres (6th, Fritz-Grünbaum-Platz 1) is ideal for animal lovers of all ages.
