Gay Tips
Vienna is considered to be the gay capital of Austria, and the level of LGBT acceptance is at pretty high levels. The local gay community is huge and thousands of gay travellers choose to visit Vienna every year. Several politically powerful people have stated their homosexuality publicly since the old times.
The gay scene of Vienna is big and colorful, featuring several gay venues dispersed through the city. During the day, you should pay a visit in one of the several gay-friendly cafes & restaurants, and taste the rich local cuisine or drink the delicious Viennese coffee in a more open environment. Some distinctive places to spend your afternoon are Cafe Berg, Cafe Savoy, Palmenhaus and Cafe Willendorf.
Even though the daylight gay scene of Vienna is pretty good, nothing compares to its gay nightlife. The entertainment options are literally doubled, ranging from soft bars-lounges to underground hardcore cruising clubs. For a chill-out atmosphere where you can relax and meet some other gay guys, you should visit Mango Bar, Felixx Bar, Village Bar, Cafe-Bar Cheri & Red Carpet.
A particularly worthy of notice event which happens annually is Life Ball. Life Ball is an event, organised every year by the non-profit organisation AIDS LIFE, which was founded in 1992.
