Estimated distance & time: 14.3km / 4 hrs 14 mins

Ready to explore Vienna through the lens of the Eurovision Song Contest? Want to discover special places that are closely connected to the world's largest music competition? The ESC History Guide takes you to eight exciting locations — from former ESC venues to museums celebrating the 2026 edition of the music event. You’ll also visit the grave of Eurovision winner Udo Jürgens and the opera stage where JJ performed countless times. The guide also includes the intersection where Vienna’s first traffic light couples (“Ampelpärchen”) were installed in 2015 — a charming symbol that playfully promoted tolerance and diversity. Another highlight is Vienna’s City Hall Square (Rathausplatz), the beautiful location of the Eurovision Village in 2015 and again in 2026. And of course, no ESC tour would be complete without the Vienna Stadthalle — home of the 2015 finals and back in the spotlight in 2026. So, let’s go — discover Vienna with ivie and experience the city in true ESC style!
