When you’re looking for destinations in Europe that are exciting to teenagers, chances are Vienna isn’t high on your list.

It wasn’t for us either, but after we went, we realized that there are so many things teenagers can do in Vienna, and it instantly became one of our teen’s favorite cities.

Vienna is well known for its classical music history, its beautiful neoclassical and baroque architecture, luscious parks, and quaint cafe culture. 

While this is all lovely and wonderful, it’s not hugely exciting for teens who love adventure, exploring off the beaten path, and finding backdrops for Insta selfies.

In this guide, we share some of the things our teenagers loved to do when they visited Vienna, plus where to stay and how to make the most of your visit.

But first, you might be on the fence about whether or not you add Vienna to your travel plans. 

Austria’s capital city is well known for its historical and stunning architecture, lively arts scene, and musical legacy, which are all engaging to us adults. 

Still, teenagers love to explore hidden gems, get interactive cultural experiences, and do things that are outside the norm.

Vienna has lots of opportunities for teens to do just that. It has a lot of adventurous activities, from nature parks and outdoor recreation parks to amusement parks and theme parks. It’s packed full of cultural experiences and opportunities to learn and grow, as well as events and festivals tailored to young people.

It’s not just a city where boredom isn’t a problem, but it’s accessible and safe too.
