May in Vienna: Top Things to Do This Month

Spring is already in full swing and Vienna transforms into an open-air celebration of culture, music, and local life. If you're planning your stay at Abieshomes, May is the perfect month to discover the city’s seasonal charm. Here’s your curated guide to the best events and activities happening this month.

Neubaugasse Promenade & Flea Market – May 9–10

One of Vienna’s most beloved local events returns this spring as the streets of Neubaugasse in the 7th district are closed to traffic and filled with vintage markets, food stalls, and independent designers. This is a must-visit if you're looking to experience the city like a local and pick up unique finds.

Disney in Concert: Believe in Magic – May 15

For a night of nostalgia and cinematic wonder, the live orchestra concert Disney in Concert arrives at the Wiener Stadthalle on May 15. The show combines iconic Disney scores with spectacular visuals, making it ideal for families and fans of all ages. If you're staying at Abieshomes Schönbrunn, the venue is just 10 minutes away, making it easy to enjoy the performance without the stress of travel.

LichtStrauss in Stadtpark – Until May 25

In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Johann Strauss, Vienna’s Stadtpark hosts an evening light and media installation that brings classical music into a modern context. The immersive experience, located in the 3rd district, is perfect for an after-dinner walk and is easily accessible from both of our apartment locations. The event is free of charge and runs every evening until May 25.

Steffl Kirtag at Stephansplatz – May 29 to June 9

This traditional Viennese spring fair takes place right in front of the St. Stephen’s Cathedral, one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. With handcrafted goods, regional food stalls, and live music, the Steffl Kirtag offers a festive local atmosphere in the very center of Vienna. It’s an ideal afternoon plan from Abieshomes Votivpark, which is just a short tram ride away.

Discover Vienna by Bike – All Month

With the arrival of sunny days and mild temperatures, cycling in Vienna is one of the best ways to explore the city. From riverside paths along the Danube to scenic routes through historic neighborhoods, biking gives you the freedom to see more, at your own pace.
