Magical Sunsets Over Vienna

As the day winds down and the city glows in the evening light, the Donauturm becomes Vienna’s most breathtaking viewpoint. At over 150 meters high, it offers a sunset experience you won’t find anywhere else.

A Stunning Panorama in Every Direction

Whether you’re on the open-air terrace or behind the glass, the 360° view from the Donauturm is truly unforgettable—especially at sunset. The sky’s colors reflect in the Danube, the city softens in the golden light, and all of Vienna stretches out at your feet.

Sundowner at the Turm Café

Looking for a relaxed way to end the day? The Turm Café, 160 meters above the ground, is the perfect hidden gem. Come by from around 6:30 PM, when the café glows with warm light and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Sip a cocktail, spritzer, or coffee while the café slowly rotates, offering you the perfect view of every phase of the setting sun—without leaving your seat.

Dinner with a View at the Turm Restaurant

If you’re after a more elevated experience, the Turm Restaurant at 170 meters is your go-to. Expect fine Austrian cuisine, exquisite wines, and a constantly changing panorama. Arrive between 6:00 and 7:30 PM to catch the best of both day and night—this is sunset dining at its finest.

Stay for the Night View

Once the sun goes down, Vienna lights up. From the sparkling Prater to the illuminated city center, the Donauturm gives you front-row seats to the city’s nighttime glow.

Whether you’re enjoying a sundowner at the café or indulging in fine dining at the restaurant, the Donauturm turns every sunset in Vienna into a memorable event. Make a reservation, come up, relax—and take in the magic above the rooftops of the city.
