Winter at the MQ
The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) in Vienna is a popular meeting place in both summer and winter. At Winter at the MQ, visitors are immersed in a pre-Christmas winter wonderland. The inner courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier turns into fantastical visual worlds with festively decorated Christmas trees and atmospheric light projections.
The restaurants and bars keep their outdoor seating areas open and get guests in the advent spirit with special decor, hot drinks from ginger chai to hot punch, and seasonal dishes. Two live bands will perform at the opening on November 12 at 6.30 pm. After that, there will be a DJ set.
And action!
Remote-controlled cars race around in the pond of the MuseumsQuartier in the "Winter Race" (Sa, Su & hols. 2.00 pm - 6.00 pm). Get competitive with your friends on the curling rink. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 10 pm, DJs will present their winter sounds in the MQ Main Courtyard. Every Wednesday, there will be live concerts by young Austrian bands.
