If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Vienna without travelling far, pairing Türkenschanzpark with a trip to Kahlenbergerdorf is the perfect idea. A peaceful morning walk followed by wine tasting along the Danube – could there be a better summer plan?
Morning: Stroll through Türkenschanzpark
Located in the 18th district, Türkenschanzpark is one of Vienna’s most beautiful green areas, filled with exotic trees, flower meadows, ponds, and fountains. Birds sing as you walk, and from the park’s gentle hills you can enjoy lovely views of the surroundings.
Entry: Free, open year-round.
Afternoon: Wine tasting in Kahlenbergerdorf
After your walk, head towards the Danube! Kahlenbergerdorf is a charming, historic wine village, famous for its traditional Viennese Heuriger taverns. Tasting a Grüner Veltliner or a Gemischter Satz is a must – their fresh, fruity flavours are a perfect match for the summer vibe.

Prices:
Wine: around €4–5 per glass (1/8 litre)
Cold platter: around €12–25
Full tasting (2 glasses of wine + snacks): from €25 per person
