Explore Gay Accommodations in Vienna

Vienna may be best known as the cultural, political and economic center of Austria, but it’s also a liberal party town offering some fantastic accommodation for gay men. From the State Opera, to the bumping nightlife at Felix, Village Bar and The Mango - and everything else in between - gay Vienna will be sure to delight for your next Austrian getaway.

Follow the rainbow to the Naschmarkt area, Vienna’s gay district. Here you’ll discover plenty of great places to eat, drink and shop with other gay revelers. Naschmarkt is a massive outdoor food market that boasts 120 stalls of fresh produce, spices and charcuterie from all over the world. Bitten by the shopping bug? From garments, to rare antiques, you’ll also find plenty of treasures at the Naschmarkt flea market - or Floahmarkt - which has a wide range of artisanal products in the streets of Naschmarkt, every Saturday since 1977.

When the sun sets and the shopping is done, cruise over to these hotspots and soak up the gay Vienna nightlife. If you want to hang with the young party crowd, The Mango is the place to find 20-somethings dancing the night away. Eagle Club offers a little bit of everything, with separate areas for cruising and chilling. But be warned, smoking is allowed inside the Eagle Club. The hardcore cruising and party crowd can be found at Sling Bar, a sweaty watering hole with a shower in the restroom! For something a little more light-hearted and hip, head down to gay-friendly Marea Alta, where you can enjoy a playful cabaret with a Schremser Bier.
