From end of June to beginning of September, Vienna's City Hall Square is a vibrant meeting place for night owls who enjoy combining culture with food. Delicious dishes and music films from opera to pop guarantee perfect summer evenings - with free admission every day.

The Music Film Festival at City Hall Square is one of the most enticing offers in Vienna during the summer. Something to suit every taste is also offered by the 25 or so international leading gastronomers on site as well as by the music film program, which covers every genre and is shown on the giant open-air screen.

Netrebko to the Rolling Stones

Visitors can look forward to concert recordings with stars such as Anna Netrebko, Plácido Domingo, Elīna Garanča, Juan Diego Flórez, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lang Lang. The who’s who of conductors and orchestras is once again amply represented in the program: Zubin Mehta, Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Simon Rattle, the Vienna Philharmonic, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, to name just a few.

Of course, fans of opera and classical music aren't the only ones to get their money's worth: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, George Michael, Diana Krall, Depeche Mode and the Rolling Stones provide modern tones from jazz to rock.

A tip for jazz fans: The Jazz Frühschoppen on eight Sundays, at which Viennese jazz bands perform live and for free at lunchtime.
