9. Falco Concert & Party
The Goldfisch' are a staple of the Austrian music scene, featuring members of the original Falco band. As is the tradition, all of them get together once a year and let the falcon fly high. There will be no impersonators, karaoke, or playback. This year, the artists return to the U4 to pay tribute to Falco who is known as Austria´s first pop star and review his musical output. The legendary Falco party follows the concert and lasts until the early hours of the morning! Certainly a great way how to spend your evening in the rhythm of Austrian pop.

If your children enjoy ice skating and being outside, this is a fantastic way how to tire them out! Curling is available on two rinks at Badeschiff Vienna, including children's ice sticks. The fruity children's punch emits a magical scent throughout the punch deck, and when hunger strikes, a warming snack is also provided. This event is appropriate for children aged 6 to 16, so bring your little angels to Badeschiff to enjoy the Viennese winter season and its staple sport, ice skating.
