Finally, it's Friday! You want to relax, leave the stress from that week behind you, and do something that makes you happy. Good thing you are living in Vienna. This city will never let you down. It does not matter if you are single, have a partner or a family, there is plenty to do and explore, especially if you are new in town.

Things to do alone with your partner or with friends in Vienna

Depending on the season the offer might vary, but there will always be something new and exciting for you to see.

A classic single weekend in Vienna looks probably like this: you come home from work, then you take a shower and leave within half an hour. You meet friends, go on a tinder date or have a romantic dinner with your love. Or you stay at home, order pizza and enjoy a relaxed, one-on-one "Netflix and Chill" with yourself.

In general, it is common in Vienna to have dinner on a Friday night and go out after. The countless bars and clubs around the city are going to make the decision pretty hard, though.

When you are planning a fun "girls or guys night out," then definitely skip the cinema part and move right on to a bar. Enjoy some pre-drinks before you are actually starting your night. The younger crowd of Vienna usually meets at someone's apartment. They might cook together and drink until right before moving on to a club or bar, where they stay until very late in the morning, as usually, clubs do not close before 4 or 5 am. Some even stay open until 8 am or longer if they are so-called after-hour clubs.

If you have a family and kids, this might not be the best option for your weekend plan. At least your partner would not appreciate it too much probably.
