Gay Travel | Vienna &#; Society, Clubs &#; Nude Beaches
Vienna has a reputation for music and culture, trust me, you’ll catch a lot about Mozart and Beethoven while you’re there, and it’s that cultural appeal that draws in a lot of gay travellers like yourself. But there&#;s more to Austria&#;s capital than just museums and art.
How gay-friendly is Vienna?
It’s usually a excellent sign that a city is gay-friendly when the tourism board has a dedicated gay travellers page on their website.
Vienna is incredibly gay-friendly, with gay couples walking comfortably hand-in-hand and LGBT rights assured across the board. Gay marriage, gay adoption, all these rights are protected by the Austrian government despite the influence of Catholicism that once dominated the country. They host their own Pride parade, as well as being home of the Euro Pride celebrations
This isn&#;t a city that will leave you feeling like the only gay in the village as there&#;s a thriving LGBT population that are out, expose, and welcoming.

About Vienna and its lgbtq+ life
Both in the past and in the present, gays have played a prominent role in Vienna’s public life. Probably the most prominent gay in the history of Austria was Prince Eugene of Savoy () who freed Vienna from Turkish siege and pushed the Ottomans back to the Balkans. But it wasn’t just on the battlefield that Eugene was surrounded exclusively by men; in private, he preferred to have intimate relations with members of his control sex – a reality well known even during his lifetime. Even so, he managed to assemble his career and increase his power base during the reigns of three emperors, and his robust influence on Vienna remains visible to this night. His summer palace, Schloss Belvedere, is an remarkable example.

Lovin’ the Lido Life
It’s not only the Viennese who cherish summer, sunshine and sandy beach vibes. And thanks to the blue Danube, that’s precisely what the Austrian capital has to propose. Vienna’s waterways enrich life in the city in their own unique way. Boat trips on the Alte Donau, a stroll on the Danube Island or sunbathing and swimming at one of the riverside inlets transforms the summer in Vienna into a seaside getaway. The typical riverside lidos are the best places to experience the city’s authentic charm. And there really is one to suit everyone: anyone who loves river swimming but does not want to go without the welltended lawns, amenities, and restaurants offered by the outdoor pools can simply go for a dip in the Alte Donau. Strandbad Gänsehäufel, Strandbad Alte Donau, and the Bundesbad are Vienna’s bestknown lidos.

The Alte Donau – a former arm of the Danube – was turned into an oxbow lake around years ago and has been Vienna’s most trendy summer holiday destination ever since. And Gänsehäufel – an islan
Gay Vienna
The “City of Waltzes” retains the elegance of centuries past. It’s a monumental urban area filled with churches, museums, concert halls, and government buildings of such a massive scale and grandeur that you can’t aid but recall this capital was once the center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now the capital of the rather small Austria it seems a bit oversized, but part of its former importance has been restored by housing the offices of huge international organizations such as the United Nations and OPEC.
Among the most capable military commanders of Austria and the Sacred Roman Empire, Prince Eugene of Savoy is eminent for pushing the Ottomans from the gates of Vienna and back to the Balkans during the course of several 17th century wars. A amazing patron of the arts, he was was adequately known during his lifetime to prefer same-sex affairs. Among the buidings he had constructed, during the era of peaceful prosperity he helped to secure, was a grandiose complex of Baroque palaces. He spent summers here, at the Schloss Belvedere - now part of the
