Paint and Sip is a series of events where people who like to craft or paint, but also like to drink, get together for a session where they can do just that. There are other events of this kind all over Vienna, but we believe that the events organized by the Social Hub are something very special. This month, the Social Hub invites you to a special evening where you can design your own tote bags: Paint & Sip! On January 11, you can learn different techniques over a drink and take your own handmade tote bag home with you.
Another great event for your children is taking place on January 21 on the Semmering!

Toboggan run, wave run, slalom, ski jump, curling, snow field field hockey, prizes and much more await you at Semmering!
On January 27, another edition of the famous Rainbow Ball will take place at the Parkhotel Schönbrunn. Once again, it’s time for an elegant ball in Viennese style, combining pure entertainment with the classic style of the Viennese ball tradition and a fundraiser for a good cause. This event is also an important manifestation of LGBTQI culture in Austria’s capital, as the proceeds of the ball go towards funding future LGBTIQ projects. Don’t hesitate and take part in the 25th edition of the famous and popular Rainbow Ball in Vienna!
Rundgang Akademie is a special exhibition hosted by Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts. It’s a fantastic way to see what its students have been up to and how the great young artists of tomorrow are educated. This year, the installations will be open from January 18 to January 21 and will feature the most diverse media and techniques used in the creation of the art pieces. All the works of art are related to one another and reflect the overall concept of the event, which is an exciting fusion emerging from the complexity of art. This event will take place at various locations throughout Vienna.
The Resonanzen Festival is a wonderful event for all lovers of classical music. From January 20 to 28, you can enjoy a series of musical performances at the Wiener Konzerthaus. Each evening is dedicated to a different planet in our solar system, making it a unique and wonderfully crafted festival. So don’t hesitate and take a look at the program so that you don’t miss any of the musical evenings in this wonderful series of the Resonanzen Festival.
The new year is finally here and with it the never-ending pressure of everyday life. But if you are one of those people who like to be pampered for a day and enjoy wellness, then we have a suggestion for you. Even in the cold winter months, Therme Wien is a popular place to relax and enjoy some time out. Visit the Therme Wien for a few hours or a whole day with massages, thermal pools and many other amenities. The spa’s “Aquapark” is also suitable for families with children.
