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.

Books are also a beloved passion of mine, and so I was more than happy to discover the Wiener Buchboutique (Vienna Book Boutique), a small but fine bookstore in the 4th district. Here you do not just get books with a focus on Austrian authors but also a loving and very expert advice from Marion Oeller, the owner.
