In 2026, Vienna will host Eurovision, and the city is ready to turn into one big stage. For LGBTQ+ travelers, it’s not just about the live shows, but also the many events around the city that make the week so special.
The main attraction, of course, is the live contest itself. Whether you score tickets for the semi-finals or the grand final, the atmosphere inside the arena is electric. Fans from across Europe gather, dressed in flags and glitter, singing along to every act.
But the party doesn’t stop at the venue. The Eurovision Village, set up in one of Vienna’s central squares, hosts open-air concerts, screenings, and performances from former contestants. It’s free, festive, and full of fans sharing the excitement together.
At night, the focus shifts to the Eurovision Club, the official party spot with DJs spinning Eurovision hits until morning. It’s crowded, colorful, and the perfect place to meet fans from across the continent.
When you’re not busy with Eurovision, Vienna offers plenty to explore. From its historic palaces and museums to stylish cafés and gay nightlife in the Naschmarkt area, the city blends culture with celebration. Eurovision week is the perfect excuse to enjoy it all.
