As chestnut trees along the Ringstrasse burst into their first lime-green leaves, Vienna shakes off winter with the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival), a month-long celebration of rebirth and artistic energy from mid-March through April 2025. This is when the Viennese trade their wool coats for light jackets and the city's air fills with the scent of narcissus and the sound of open-air concerts.
This year's festival highlights include:
Locals know the best ways to welcome spring:
🌸 Buying lily-of-the-valley from florists on Naschmarkt for good luck
☕ Frühjahrspause - The Viennese art of lingering at café tables as soon as thermometers hit 15°C (59°F)
🚲 City Bike Revival - When Vienna's famous bike-sharing system emerges from winter hibernation
