Rathausplatz

"Rathausplatz, or City Hall Square, is a grand public space in Vienna, dominated by the impressive Vienna City Hall (Rathaus). The square is a central hub for major events, festivals, and markets, including the popular Vienna Christmas Market, which transforms the area into a festive wonderland during the holiday season. Visit during one of the many public events or seasonal markets to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Rathausplatz. In the summer, the square often hosts open-air concerts and film screenings, offering a lively cultural experience. The Vienna City Hall, completed in 1883, is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture with its tall spire and ornate facade. The building’s design was inspired by the medieval architecture of northern Europe, and it is one of the most iconic landmarks in Vienna."

"During our visit, we happened to come across a film festival at Rathausplatz so we didn’t visit the building. The Film Festival at Vienna’s Rathausplatz is a popular summer event that combines culture, great food, and fun. With free entry, it has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors for over 30 years. A mix of top music films and international cuisine creates a unique experience in one of Vienna’s most beautiful settings. This square often hosts many of the city’s events, such as the Wiener Eistraum, Steirerwoche, Bike Festival, Film Festival, Christmas market and more. You might easily "accidentally" visit Vienna during one of these, as they’re held throughout the year with only a few days off!"

"The city hall and one of the most important squares in Vienna. Also the area for the largest Christmas market with my favorite warm drinks"
