Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna

There are so many beautiful places to visit in Vienna that even locals sometimes don’t get a chance to see them all. So this weekend is an excellent opportunity for you to (re)visit the beautiful Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.

In it, you can find an astonishing collection of art and artefacts, but the building itself is also a jewel: a massive neoclassical and breathtaking construction worth the visit by itself.

Summerstage Wien

Summer is definitely one of the times when the city is alive, with events and spaces opening up just for the warmer months. One example is the famous among locals Summerstage, in the Roßauer Lände, just by the Donaukanal.

The area is open until the end of September. It offers many events, including this Sunday’s reading by Linz-born writer Stefan Kutzenberger, ongoing exhibitions such as a sculpture garden, and plenty of sports activities.

All of that is set by the beautiful green area near the water at Donaukanal. There are many restaurants with outdoor seating and you can find a varied selection of meals: from Austrian specialities to French pastries, Latin dishes and Creole cuisine.

Lisboa Lounge

Comida boa alert. If you enjoy Portuguese food and want to feel like you are in a lovely restaurant in Lisbon, then Lisboa Lounge, in the fourth district, is the place to go.

There, you can have some authentic Portuguese food, wines and tapas, from Portuguese cheese and Iberian ham to seafood specialities and Port wine.

To finish the delicious meal, you can’t go wrong when trying the pastel de nata and a strong black coffee.
