Sunset over Vienna at the Danube Tower
When the sun sets over Vienna, the Danube Tower becomes one of the city’s most beautiful viewpoints. At more than 150 m above the ground, visitors can enjoy the sunset over Vienna, the Danube, the Donaupark and the city skyline – whether from the outdoor viewing terrace, Turm Café or during dinner at Turm Restaurant.
Magical Views in Every Direction
Whether on the open-air viewing terrace at 150 m or behind glass on the indoor terrace: the panoramic view from the Danube Tower is especially impressive at sunset. The evening light bathes Vienna in warm colours, the Danube begins to shimmer and the city reveals itself from a particularly atmospheric perspective.
Sundowner at Turm Café with Sunset Happy Hour
Turm Café at 160 m is a special place for a relaxed sundowner above Vienna. With a cocktail, spritz, coffee or non-alcoholic drink, visitors can enjoy the sunset in style. As Turm Café slowly rotates, the view changes throughout the visit and accompanies every phase of the evening light.
From 17:00 to 19:00 until 6 September 2026, the Sunset Happy Hour offers 20% off selected summer cocktails, spritz variations and non-alcoholic cocktails. The summer drinks menu includes, among others, Danube Tower Mojito, Espresso Martini Affogato, Tinto de Verano, Passion Summer, Grapefruit Spritz, Cucumber Spritz, Lavender Spritz, Limoncello Elderflower Spritz, Lillet Blue Lagoon, as well as non-alcoholic cocktails, lemonades and iced teas.
