1. Join Post-Museum Fun At MQ Amore

Things to do in Vienna June 2024. From June onwards is probably the best time to enjoy the Museumsquartier’s outdoor programme. On warm summer afternoons and evenings you can try out your minigolf skills at the outdoor installation ‘MQ Amore’. Between pebble and lawn beds golf balls zing past contemporary art objects from various artists. If you feel like at the Italian Riviera in the 1950s that is intentional.

Admission: most public events are expected to be free;

2. Back To The Opera

Things to do in Vienna June 2024.  In the first half of June Chinese Princess Turandot challenges suitors to solve three riddles or face death at the Vienna State Opera. Meanwhile, Giacomo Puccini’s opera unfolds with the brave Prince Calaf risking his life to win Turandot’s hand, eventually thawing her icy heart with his love. At the same time  Verdi’s Nabucco depicts the struggles of the Jews in captivity under King Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco) of Babylon, with themes of love, betrayal, and redemption.

In the second half of June, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart captures the scene with Cosí Fan Tutte. Watching a colourful and joyous setting, you can explore the complexities of love and fidelity as two officers test the faithfulness of their fiancées through a series of deceptions and misunderstandings.

3. Take A Bike Tour Or Segway Tour

Things to do in Vienna June 2024. I keep saying it but exploring Vienna by bike is so great. You can easily explore most of Vienna’s landmarks by bike. The two best Vienna tours by bike cover classical Vienna (morning tour) and the area around the Danube Island including sights of the Vienna Ringstrasse boulevard. They are great for orientating yourself. Besides, you will stop frequently to hear stories of landmarks you pass.

An e-bike tour can take you much further. Last year, I joined an e-bike group up Vienna’s rolling hills and vineyards. Read the full story about my electric Vienna bicycle tour.

I have also done two segway tours in Vienna and loved them both. The first was a classical sightseeing tour along the Ringstrasse boulevard and across the historic city centre.

The second was a fun tour through the lush woodlands close to the Vienna Prater amusement park. Read my tour reviews in Vienna tours by segway

4. Summer Night Concert

Things to do in Vienna June 2024. After a two-year break due to Covid 19, the concert organizers and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra are back with their annual free open air concert. In the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace this massively popular event stages key musicians and conductors each year. For the upcoming performance under the theme LOVE, conductor Valery Gergiev and German operatic tenor Jonaus Kaufman will bring sweet opera, operetta, concert and ballet tunes from Jules Massenet to Emmerich Kálmán and Giacomo Puccini to life (tbc).

5. “Listening To Love” With Arnold Schönberg

Things to do in Vienna June 2024. This year, Austrian Modernist composer and later US citizen Arnold Schönberg would celebrate his 150th birthday. Along with Gustav Mahler, Schönberg had presumably the greatest influence on musical life in 20th-century Vienna. Throughout June until early 2025 the Arnold Schönberg Center explores love in musical Modernism. Although Arnold Schönberg is known for rational and anti-emotional compositions his emotionally rich scores often show otherwise.

In this exhibition love songs, symphonic poems, and ensemble pieces mix with private messages and literary testimonies, showing both the loss and fulfillment of affection. 

Dates: Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm; closed on public holidays
Location: Arnold Schönberg Center, Zaunergasse 1-3, 1030 Vienna;
Admission: free

6. Secessionist Movement: Klimt, Stuck And Liebermann

Things to do in Vienna June 2024. Following its success in Berlin, this exhibition now travels to Vienna. In essense, it spotlights the secessionist movements in Munich, Vienna, and Berlin during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term Secession marks the onset of modernism, notably associated with figures like Gustav Klimt in Vienna, Franz von Stuck in Munich, and Max Liebermann in Berlin.

Championing artistic freedom, vibrant expression, and an international outlook the Secessionist movement laid the groundwork for the rise of artistic modernism. At the exhibition you will see beautiful female portraits, vibrant sceneries of people and landscapes, and a strange sculpture of a devil…

Dates: Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm; closed on public holidays
Location: Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1010 Vienna
Admission: from EUR 10
