"Heya Girls!"
I admit it, it took me quite a lot to overcome my inner couch potato for this self-experiment. An arduous trip with U1 to Danube Island to then do yoga on a shaky SUP-board? But: the spirit of adventure won! After a short introduction, we went straight onto the board (by the way, it wasn’t even THAT slippery), paddle in hand and out to the calm waters of Old Danube. First insecure, then with an ever-growing grin and full speed ahead. Out there, the yoga boards were docked to some sort of island and what followed was indeed pure deep relaxation: the water was murmuring softly, the frogs croaked a sonorous Om, a swan was peacefully making its rounds – and not a single stinging insect in sight anywhere. Since you don’t want to tumble into the water first thing, you perform the exercises so slowly and carefully that you get into an absolutely chillaxing mode in no time. And that I fell off the board at some point was actually really enjoyable ;-) You can do SUP yoga every Saturday morning – a short notice is enough. And afterwards: après asana at the sandy beach of Copa Beach.
Stand Up Paddling Center, Copa Beach, Ponte Cagrana, 1220 Vienna. Every Saturday 10:00. 29 €. Web

Museum der Illusionen
In the mood for some magic? Then it’s off to Vienna’s newest Museum of Illusions, which opens its doors today for the first time. And of course it’s mysterious, tricky, and full of attractions, like an island of optical illusions & confusions should be. But CitySpotterGirl was able to solve one or two little mysteries: Among others, you will be able to marvel at Europe’s biggest collection of holograms and stereograms, as well as more than 70 otherworldly illusion-exhibits. It’ll be sensual, bizarre and informative all at the same time. Go, wonder, and be surprised!
Museum der Illusionen, Wallnerstraße 4, 1010 Vienna. 14 July from 10:00. 12 €. Web |

And before they start making common cause with each other in autumn, they will use the new location as outlet. So, starting immediately, they will sell leftover-pairs and discontinued models from “Schuhe für Frauen”, beautiful walking jackets by “Mühlmann handmade in the alps” and chic fashion by Modus Vivendi – at outlet prices!

Vienna Cocktail Festival „Liquid Market“
Cin Cin and Nastrovje! Friends of a sophisticated drinking culture absolutely have to get dolled up today and go to the openair “Evergreengarten” in Volksgarten. Here, the hop Cocktail Festival lures you to the bar and presents the 30 top mixologists of the year – together with their stimulating, tasty good mood drinks. Just think of the bubbly “Burschik”-drinks from restaurant/bar Heuer at Karlsplatz or the mellow-minty “Old Cuban” from Miranda Bar. Anti-alcohol is available too. From 15:00 to 22:00 and for 38 Euros, you get to play Hemingway, so let’s go!

Deli bluem will serve some veggie summer food, accompanied by bubbly sparkling wine and chamber music, and there’s also a fashion show by Philipp Brunner. Klimt fans can tour his house and the first 155 guests will receive Klimt-y goodie bags. Oh happy (Birth-)Day!

Nightclimb at Forest Rope Park
Cool excursion tip for night-owls: Forest Rope Park Kahlenberg has a new attraction: Over the summer, you can climb there until late at night. Every Friday and Saturday, after dusk, hundreds of Chinese lanterns create a romantic atmosphere between the branches of giant trees and head-lamps are available by request. 15 courses with wobbly nets and swaying rope bridges invite you to test your skills, additional adrenaline is provided by flying foxes with which you can dash through the woods. And the view up to the treetops and down to the city-lights is simply breathtaking!

Turnhallen-Flea Market at Brick-5
Before the new “Café TURNHALLE” will open at the former Jewish gymnasium of cultural center Brick-5 at the end of the month, the beautiful empty halls will serve a different purpose: the offices, ateliers, and workshops of the house host a nice flea market. On sale are second hand clothes and great vintage pieces, record rarities and, fittingly, funky tunes by in-house Brick-5 DJs. Inside tip: The enchanted Turnhalle-garden and the rooftop terrace up at the loft are opened as well! That means chilling on comfy couches and chatting while enjoying coffee, cake and music by Wurlitzer.
Brick-5, Fünfhausgasse 5, 1150 Vienna. 16 July 12:00 to 20:00. Free entry. Web |

Esmeraldas Taxi
After Silent Cooking it’s now time for Silent Music to create some symbolic boom boom! Today, the native trio “Esmeraldas Taxi” with singer Astrid Walenta is enriching this Sunday’s fine chill-out music event “Silent Music” at Augarten. And when she sings her own songs as well as re-arranged Caterina Valente-chansons (the similarity in name cannot be a coincidence! ;-) it will definitely bring a smile to your face. „Komm ein bisschen nach Italien“ (Come to Italy for a while) is one lyric, for example. A few sample recordings are right here. More wonderful folk-, pop and jazz music tonight.

Workshop Parkour & Freerunning
Breathtaking and unbelievable! These are characteristics that generally fit the Impulstanz Festival but especially the five-day Parkour & Freerunning Workshop „Über den Dächern Wiens“ (Above the roofs of Vienna). Austrian stunt performer Sascha Hauser will demonstrate how to cross urban obstacles and let the body become one with the city by jumping smoothly, rolling and gliding in the truest sense of the word. It starts today. Training is at Arsenal, MQ and at other locations. Beginners welcome – the risk of breaking bones is kept within limits ;)

Women’s EURO-Quartier in WUK
Gals, it’s time to put on your red-white-red fan-shirt and keep your fingers crossed tightly. Austria’s Women’s football team has qualified for the EURO for the first time! Even non-football fans cannot be entirely indifferent to that. If you don’t want to actually travel to Deventer in the Netherlands, you can cheer on Nicole Billa, Jasmin Eder & Co at the Viennese WUK. Today is their first game. The goal: making the Swiss team to Edam cheese ;-) You can follow the match (and the whole Women’s EURO) in the
WUK courtyard. Live, on HD screens, free of charge!

Old Masters & Vitamines
There’s no better way to make art accessible in summer – in the truest sense of the word! Today, you can sprawl out on a deckchair in front of the Museum of Fine Arts, being served the works of old masters while slurping vitamin juice for free. Highlights from the art gallery will be presented as big replicas and you can listen to the stories of Parmigianino, Lucas Cranach and Pieter Bruegel while relaxing in your chair. There’s also fresh fruit and fruit salad. And by the way, you can actually buy the stylish deckchairs for 55€ in the museum shop!

Ladies-Day at Schloss Neugebäude
You’ll cry tears of joy and tears of sorrow. The former because you can now watch stars and films in one of Vienna’s most romantic cinemas. And that most comfortably on cozy couches with fresh pop-corn and cool drinks in your hand. For Ladies Day today, there’s a free glass of champagne for girls, 2€ discount on the ticket and the witty-French relationship-tomfoolery “Plötzlich Papa!” In the event of rain there’s a mobile roof. But now the sad part: This is passionate owners Angela and Franz Kascha’s very last season (only until 3.9.). Non-existing funding and support are to blame.

Vienna’s first licorice pop-up store
Attention all ladies with a sweet tooth! Because it’s way too hot these days for chocolate and cake junk and you eventually get tired of gelato, the Süße Eck has thought of something. Licorice is the new magic word! And no, please don’t make a face, it’s time to throw overboard any old prejudices. CitySpotterGirl, too, has fallen in love with the black gold, especially the salty version and the sugarless natural licorice. For three weeks, more than 110 different types from all over the world can be tasted and bought – some of them even have a stimulating effect and are blood pressure raising!
Zum süßen Eck, Währinger Straße 65, 1090 Vienna. Until 29 July. Wed-Sat 14:00 to 20:00. Web |
