The 5 best LGBTIQ+ locations

Café Savoy

The Savoy is one of Vienna's oldest and most beautiful LGBTIQ+ locations and is not one to be missed. The Savoy has been around since 1897. How it looks inside: Opulant interiors, golden chandeliers, detailed ornementation and huge mirrors are reminiscent of imperial splendour. You'll be in good hands here no matter the time of day. And the best thing: The Savoy is directly next to the Naschmarkt. It is therefore perfect for a quick pitstop or as a place to watch the world go by. The best place to observe the lively hustle and bustle is from the cafe's outdoor dining area.

Kaiserbründl Men's Sauna

If you fancy a hot sauna infusion after a night of partying in Vienna, the Kaiserbründl Men's Sauna is the place to be. The imperial ambience is particularly worth experiencing. Even one of the Habsburgs used to be a regular here: Archduke Ludwig Viktor (called "Luziwuzi"), the youngest brother of Emperor Franz Josephs, enjoyed himself in the Kaiserbündl. But he once overdid it a bit, receiving a slap in the face for being a bit too "affectionate".

Opening times
  • Mo - Th, 14:00 - 00:00
  • Fr - Sa, 14:00 - 02:00
  • Su, 14:00 - 00:00
