What's on: 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 cafe with a fireplace, here are some ideas.
Haus der Musik
Austria and its capital Vienna are known for their connection to the world of music, from classical names to more recent rock, pop and hip hop creations.
In Vienna, one of the best museums for all ages is the house of music, with information and many interactive experiences will teach you how sound is created and show you pieces from the city's philharmonic.
One of the highlights is the staircase between floors that acts as a piano allowing visitors to compose their music.

Long night in the museum
Definitely one of the coolest events in any city. This weekend is the time to visit Viennese museums way after hours - the event is actually Austria-wide and you can check all participating institutions here.
On Saturday, the 1st of October, the "ORF Long Night of Museums" takes place. From 6 pm to 1 am, numerous museums open their doors and offer a diverse program for young and old. The regular tickets cost 15 euros, discounted tickets 12 euros and regionally limited tickets six euros. Admission is free for children up to the age of twelve.

Café Jelinek
As the weather gets colder and the weekend promises some rain, of course staying indoors is a good idea. Vienna is full of beautiful cafes to visit and enjoy, but Jelinek has a charm of its own.
The traditional coffee house not only has delicious food in a great environment, but visitors can also enjoy some warmth straight from the fireplace (no extremely high gas bills here!).

Vienna Comic Con
This weekend, Austria’s capital is hosting the Vienna Comic Con. Comic fans can meet up and enjoy the event with some great guests. Besides famous comic artists, fantasy authors, and voice actors, there are cosplay guests and entertainment guests. One of them is Jack Gleeson, the actor who played Joeffrey in Game of Thrones.
The comic con also has thrilling esports tournaments, free-to-play areas, and more.

Visit a heuriger
Not ready to say goodbye to heuriger season just yet? There are many unique places still open and worth a visit before it gets too old outside.
The classic suggestion is Heuriger Wieninger, in the 21st district. Besides the house wine, there’s a buffet with warm and cold dishes, all in the traditional ambiance of a heuriger.
