Welcome to 2019. Have you spent the New Year well and started fulminantly into the new year? Also this year Vienna has a lot to offer, I have summarized some of the highlights here in the blog. So that you can start already with the travel planning. Part 2 of the highlights follows in 2 weeks.

Summer in Vienna is a very special time. Because in the coming weeks, a colorful, diverse offer is waiting for you. From open-air cinema, through outdoor festivals to holiday mood on the beach. And the offer is so large that it is enough for 2 blog articles. Today we start with cinemas, film, music and culture.

From 22nd June to 24th June, the Danube Island Festival, Europe's largest open-air festival, will take place, this year for the 35th time. It all began in 1983 as a small family event, at that time as an attempt to establish an festival here. However, the number of visitors had already clearly exceeded expectations in the first year and thus the festival remained as an annual fixed date.

Wolfgang "Joe" Schirl - musician, instrumentalist, composer and lyricist. From jazz to blues to rock and funk. How he came to the music, found his destiny and why he has so much fun, that's what he tells you today.

Oama Richson - actor, musician and so much more and moreover Viennese with all his heart. Therefore, I am so happy that today he is telling you more about his own versatile job, his personal career in Vienna and his personal life.
Maybe you have even seen Oama on television already, because with his band DAWA he would almost have participated in the Eurovision Songcontest.
