Five things to do in Vienna this weekend
Vienna is full of events, places to visit and great new restaurants to try out. If you are overwhelmed with the possibilities or just wondering where you can find a cool international event, here are some ideas.
Visit the Prater
The Wiener Prater is a place that most people who live in Vienna have visited at least once. It's also well worth the ride. The amusement park has options for children, adrenaline junkies, and all those in between.
It's also a great place to get some cold drinks and delicious meals. But, of course, if it gets too hot, you can always head to the surrounding park, with endless trees providing shade.

Calle Libre festival
The street art festival Calle Libre has its final days this weekend, so there is still time to see the international artists in Vienna's Nordwestbahnhof.
Besides the colourful arts spread on the 400-metre warehouse, you can enjoy music, refreshments, workshops and installations. The festival also promotes guided walking tours in Vienna.

Restaurant Akropolis
You might not be spending your weekend on a beautiful Greek beach, but perhaps you could get close to the feeling by going to a delicious Greek restaurant in Vienna.
Restaurant Akropolis in the 21st district has an impressive 4.6 rating on Google Maps (with over 1,300 reviews), has been around for almost 30 years in Austria and is recommended by many Greeks. What more can you ask?

Learn more about Austria by attending an information session
The City of Vienna's Integration and Diversity department is holding several workshops on Saturday at its VHS Favoriten location.
For free, you can attend information sessions on living and work in Austria in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Farsi, Russian, Arabic, English, Turkish, Chinese, or Hindi/Punjabi. There is no need to pre-register.

Go for a visit to the Schönbrunn zoo
Vienna's zoo has just celebrated its 270th anniversary on July 31st, so why not pay it a visit? The zoo, located in the gardens of the beautiful Schönbrunn palace, offers a habitat for around 8,000 animals from about 700 species on an area of 17 hectares.
The zoo is open daily from 09 am to 6:30 pm in the summer, and the tickets are €14 (people with disabilities, children and young people) or €24 (adults). Kids under six do not pay.
