1. Join Post-Museum Fun At MQ Amore

Things to do in Vienna June 2023. From June onwards is probably the best time to enjoy the Museumsquartier’s outdoor programme. On warm summer afternoons and evenings you can try out your minigolf skills at the outdoor installation ‘MQ Amore’. Between pebble and lawn beds golf balls zing past contemporary art objects from various artists. If you feel like at the Italian Riviera in the 1950s that is intentional.

Almost 100 years after the Habsburg Emperors beat the Ottomans in the Battle of Vienna, Wolfgang Mozart staged his Ottoman centered opera The Abduction from the Seraglio in 1782. And during five days in June the Vienna Volksoper will stage this audience favourite once again. At the Vienna State Opera, the Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) and Italian operas dominate alongside Richard Wagner’s bombastic Ring cycle.

3. Take A Bike Tour Or Segway Tour

Things to do in Vienna June 2023.I keep saying it but exploring Vienna by bike is so great. You can easily explore most of Vienna’s landmarks by bike. The two best Vienna tours by bikecover classical Vienna (morning tour) and the area around the Danube Island including sights of the Vienna Ringstrasse boulevard. They are great for orientating yourself. Besides, you will stop frequently to hear stories of landmarks you pass.

An e-bike tour can take you much further. Last year, I joined an e-bike group up Vienna’s rolling hills and vineyards. Read the full story about my electric Vienna bicycle tour.

I have also done two segway tours in Vienna and loved them both. The first was a classical sightseeing tour along the Ringstrasse boulevard and across the historic city centre.

The second was a fun tour through the lush woodlands close to the Vienna Prater amusement park. Read my tour reviews inVienna tours by segway.
