Fest der Freude

At Heldenplatz

Innere Stadt, Wien

"felt the pain of history" at the memorable show
Around 10,000 people gather for the concert
Pair it with a stroll through the Volksgarten next door

Once a year, Vienna's grandest square becomes a concert hall for remembrance and hope. The Wiener Symphoniker play a free open-air program marking Austria's liberation, with thousands gathered on Heldenplatz.
