The General Assembly has come to an end, with only a few hours left to go. Many of the participants will make their way home over the weekend, but if you’ve chosen to stay on for a little longer, then this list of cultural activities and things to do in Vienna might just be the ticket!
Have coffee, Vienna style
Experience the true delights of Viennese coffee at Cafe Prükel. Strong and delicious – even better with a slice of your favourite cake. http://www.prueckel.at/
Immerse yourself in Austrian artwork
Experience the work of Gustav Klimt, one of Austria’s most famous painters in a special exhibition on his work. https://www.belvedere.at/Beyond_Klimt
Explore the city by bike
One of the best ways to see Vienna is by bike – there’s no shortage of great tours around the city. Better yet, hire your own and take a trip along the Danube. https://www.vienna-unwrapped.com/vienna-tours-by-bike/
An evening of space science
Enjoy a mega space science celebration at Vienna’s Natural History Museum.
