What to do in Vienna?

Sometimes all that "seeing" in a city just gets a little bit too much and it's time to start doing something.

Vienna has plenty of events, sports and festivals that a visitor or a resident can participate in.

Some of the major festivals and events in the city are detailed on the Vienna Festivals page.

On the related Vienna in Winter and Vienna in Summer pages you can find details about specific seasonal events and options.

Vienna likes to promote itself as a city of culture and film is a discipline which the city has embraced and which in return has frequently featured the city. The film festivals, the Viennale, the cinemas and the sights of some of the films set here are described on the Film in Vienna page.

For those who'd like to combine seeing and doing, a kind of active participation can be achieved through visiting one of the local sports venues - some of the best-known Vienna sports clubs and teams are given on the Vienna Sports page.
