Rathaus

Classical music fans will enjoy an evening on Rathausplatz in front of Vienna’s mock-Gothic City Hall where the annual Rathaus film festival is once again underway. Throughout July and August there are nightly showings of operas and classical concerts filmed in Vienna’s famous auditoria. It’s worth arriving early as this is one of the city’s most popular summer freebies, as the gigantic screen and powerful soundsystem guarantee optimum listening. The whole area is surrounded by a variety of stands offering everything from sushi to strudel, attracting the locals and tourists alike.
