Welcome Back to Vienna!

Vienna's hotels, restaurants and stages have finally reopened. And the entry regulations have been eased. So a safe trip to Vienna is possible again. And we look forward to welcoming you back here very soon.

The joy is enormous: Hotels, restaurants as well as theaters, opera houses, concert halls, cinemas and leisure facilities such as the Vienna Prater with its world-famous Ferris wheel are finally open again. Vienna is thus once again becoming a livable imperial metropolis of art and culture, attracting guests from all over the world. - A comeback that has been long awaited.

Entry regulations have also been eased, especially for guests who do not come from risk areas or regions with virus mutations. Guests from low-incidence states, for example, can enter easily upon proof of vaccination, negative testing or recovery.
