Gay & Lesbian Vienna

Boasting a unique blend of imperial tradition, leading-edge creativity and provocative avant-garde, Vienna has been rightfully highlighting that “Vienna is different” as one of their official slogans for many years. The city’s abundance of culture and art treasures, its rich musical heritage but also its glamorous balls, festivals and other events are well known over the world.
Apart from big gay and lesbian events for everyone, Vienna offers a varied gay life all year round (see below): from queer cafe to cocktail bar, from lesbian restaurant to leather place, from bathhouse to dance club, it is all there.
In 2004, Vienna was chosen the Preferred Gay & Lesbian City by participants of the "Christopher Street Day" magazine and events - even ahead of London and Paris.
