Sand In The City – Vienna’s beach bars

An excellent choice to meet for afterwork drinks. Located directly opposite the U4 metro station, Stadtpark, is a beach wonderland of epic proportions. Located on an area that becomes an ice skating rink in winter, during summer, this area transforms into a great sunshine chillout spot. Sand in the City has a mellow vibe, with music in the background, people playing beach volleyball on the courts provided, and you lounging in a beach chair. With no less than four cocktail bars, you’re sure to find your favorite (bar tender) here that you will remain loyal to throughout the whole summer. There’s a large selection of food stands, ranging from Asian to classic BBQ. The Freiwild stand offers some excellent snack platters to share.

Make sure to… play a game of volleyball if you’re feeling sporty (be sure to reserve a court, here). Playing beach volleyball against an urban backdrop, can’t be beat. Reward yourself with a drink after – you deserve it.
