  • A busy Saturday afternoon in the Theresienbad - Vienna
    A busy Saturday afternoon in
    the Theresienbad
    by mel_bee
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Especially great in warmer weather, there are so many outdoor swimming pools to choose from and you will find them packed out with sun-hungry viennese at weekends. In fact there are more than 30 swimming pools and saunas in Vienna (for their names and links to their pages see www.wien.gv.at/baeder/baeder) some of which are only open in the summer. For more general information including opening hours and prices also see www.wien.gv.at/baeder/. These also detail water aerobics and other activities. Most pools have an afternoon price which is a lot cheaper than a day ticket for example the Theresienbad only costs 2.50 Euro for an adult after around 3pm. My recommendations are: Amalienbad (10, Reumannplatz U1) Theresienbad (12, Meidlinger Hauptstrasse U4) Schafbergbad (18, Josef-Redlgasse 42B bus) Kongressbad (17, Julius Meindlgasse S45 Hernals or 43 tram) And last but not least my local indoor pool Margaretenbad (5, near Margaretenplatz, 13a bus, U4 Pilgramgasse) has tropical evenings and a great slide.

    Wiener Eistraum is an annual event - all of the square between the Burgtheater and Rathaus / Town Hall will be dedicated as a large place for scating. Long slopes will lead you also through the park, there is music playing outside and also inside various restaurant-tents. This year it started Jan. 25th 09.00a.m.-04.00p.m. you pay 3,50 / children 2,50 / families 8,50 04.00p.m.-11.00p.m. the prices are : 5,00 / 4,00 / 13,- Euros

    Bring your own equipment or simply rent it there against a small fee. Even the toilets may be reached with your scates on !! The fee for renting a pair of scating-shoes was 6 Euros in 2006 (3,80 Euros for children)

    In winter a large ice rink is available at the Rathaus. They play music and there are several stalls selling food and drink. I can't skate to save my life so watched while drinking a hot mug of Glühwein!

    It seems that most people bring their own skates but I'm sure they are available to rent too.

    Located in Vienna’s fifth district, the Margaretenbad has always been a popular meeting place for old and young. With its varied offers for fun and relaxation, such as a big dragon slide, a water fall, a counter stream swim unit, sauna, solarium and a restaurant, it has become one of the city’s jewels.

    The Park of Schönbrunn is more than 2 Km² and offers long flat ways for jogging and you may even run the uphill-passages to the Gloriette and to the Maze.

    The park will be open to the public from 06.30 a.m. till 07.00 p.m. - dogs and bikers are not allowed - another good reason to go jogging there instead ofother places in that area !!

    Football - The Beautiful Game. My mate and I travelled from London to Vienna to watch the Rapid Vienna Vs Salzburg game in October 2003. Good game Rapid winning 1-0. We went to the ground that is by Huttledorf station the evenign before the game and we were able to get our tickets in advance. Match day came and we watched the fans file in The Rapid Ultras (regular fans) are in the West Tribune (stand) we sat in the North Stand and were entertained wit htheir singing, banners, and flags. A Great experience.

    Your eyes and a small pocket camera . And ENJOY

    In Vienna it is not easy to find an area, where one can walk or jog good, average distances. You may go for the "Danube Island", but if you are staying in western Vienna, the Vienna Woods and surroundings are excellent, but not easy to reach without car or bike.

    I prefer 2 areas, close to my neighbourhood and would like to recommend them as an "Insider Tip"! a.) the "Steinhofgruende" close to Hotel Schloss Wilhelminenberg" (see my hotel tip for directions etc), and b.) The "Schwarzenberg-Allee" in NEUWALDEGG (tram 43 ) the green areas show the jogging- and walking areas !

  • Badeschiff, Vienna - Vienna
    Badeschiff, Vienna
    by sabsi
    Send Photo to a Friend
    On a hot day in the city this swimming swimming pool just looked too tempting. Too bad we were on a treasure hunt through Vienna and didn't have the time to jump into the attractive looking water! The so-called "Badeschiff" is located at Donaukanal, between Schwedenbrücke and Urania. One of the two barges is completely filled with water. The pool is almost 30 metres long and when other ships pass by you can feel that you are actually in the water on the water...

    Bring your swimsuits, bikinis, shorts to refresh from all the sightseeing and walking in the heat of the city.

    Ice skating at Rathaus
    by longsanborn
    Send Photo to a Friend
    In winter time, the Rathaus opened up its front courtyard to the ice skating rinks of the Wiener Eistraum. You can go skating there - for a price - and around the ice paths set up around the parks nearby. It is fun and exhilarating, especially when you can skate very well. Latest pop hit music will be played over the speakers all over the place, and at night, the disco lights will be on to add more fun to the sport.

    Ice skates and warm clothings. If you don't have your own ice skates, you can rent them at the stalls there.
