It’s no secret that winter in Austria is long and cold.
This is why it’s so important to make the most of autumn before the winter really kicks in.
Here’s how to make that happen with our selection of events, activities, places to see and seasonal foods to eat.
Events
The Viennale – the annual international film festival – takes place from October 20th to November 1st.
A preview of this year’s programme includes feature films from France, Kazakhstan, US, Canada, Greece, Austria and the UK. As well as a monograph on Elaine May – the award-winning American comedian, actress, playwright and filmmaker.
Screenings take place at various venues across Vienna, such as Gartenbaukino on Parkring, Stadkino im Künstlerhaus and Urania on Uraniastrasse.
The full Viennale programme will be published on October 11th at 8pm and the ticket presale starts on October 15th at 10am.
Oktoberfest is another autumn event to add to your list of seasonal fun.
The annual celebration of beer, dirndl and lederhosen might originate in Munich, Germany, but Austria is not one to be left behind. As a result, there are many Oktoberfest events that take place across the country from mid-September to early October.
Unfortunately, Vienna’s Wiesn event has already been cancelled this year due to difficulties in securing a venue (according to the official website).
But similar events are taking place, like Knödelfest in St Johann in Tyrol on September 24th, which is a one-day festivity of dumplings, beer and traditional music.
If Oktoberfest-style events are too kitschy for you, then check out Vienna’s Craft Bier Fest instead. It takes place from November 18th and 19th at the Marx Halle and visitors can sample beers from local and international brewing companies. Read More...
