Enjoy the view with a cocktail in your hand: The best way to experience summer in Vienna is at one of the city's many rooftop bars. Here are some of the best.
The best place to escape the summer heat in the evening is probably one of the many rooftop bars in Vienna. Then you can enjoy the view with a refreshing cocktail in your hand - here are Vienna's best ones for daytime and evening.
With the panorama lift from the 25Hours Hotel beim MuseumsQuartier geht es direkt ganz nach oben. “Der Dachboden” bietet wohl eine der schönsten Aussichten als Rooftop Bar in Wien. Nachmittags kann man hier (wenn man möchte) in aller Ruhe arbeiten oder ein Getränk genießen. Abends allerdings verwandelt sich die Rooftop Bar mit View over the parliament and Ringstrasse into a really cool location. Relax here with friends or colleagues with after-work drinks or ring in the weekend.
Tip: on 11 June there'll be a Sommerhoch Afterwork Party and on 27 June there'll be Rooftop Karaoke. The 25Hours Hotel is also a partner hotel of theWiener Festwochen. That's why there are 3 festival cocktails available until June 23: The Rebel, The Artist and The Director.

The bar also has its own entrance and elevator to take you directly to the 16th floor.

Cayo Coco is the brand new rooftop bar at the Hoxton Vienna. The bar has plenty of tropical energy, as it's modeled on the golden age of Cuban travel. Between the bar and the pool terrace (the pool is unfortunately only available to hotel guests), visitors can forget all their worries and enjoy refreshing drinks and culinary delights during the day or in the evening. The Cuban cocktails are particularly recommended.

Im Herzen von Wien auf der Kärntner Straße findet man im letzten Stockwerk des Luxuskaufhauses Steffl das “SKY Restaurant, Bar & Roofgarden”. Letzteres, weil sich Besucher hier in einer Art grüner Oase inmitten der Stadt wiederfinden. Auf der Terrasse mit atemberaubendem view of St. Stephen's Cathedral you can sit here in the green and enjoy cocktails and food to your heart's content. Particularly praiseworthy is the fact that the bar and restaurant are almost exclusively seasonal regionality is respected. Everything is 100 % organic.
