18:45 - 21:00

Venue: Wiener Rathauskeller
Address: Rathausplatz 1, Vienna, Austria

Located beneath Vienna’s iconic City Hall (Rathaus), the Wiener Rathauskeller is a unique and atmospheric venue dating back to the late 19th century. Known for its vaulted ceilings, traditional décor, and authentic Austrian hospitality, it offers a memorable setting to experience local cuisine and culture.

Getting There

On foot (recommended):

The Wiener Rathauskeller is approximately a 10-minute walk from Hotel Regina.

Exit the hotel and head towards Ringstraße then walk in the direction of Rathausplatz. The Vienna City Hall (Rathaus) is a prominent building and easy to locate. The entrance to the Rathauskeller is within the City Hall complex.

By public transport:

Take tram lines 1, 71, or D from nearby stops towards Rathausplatz / Burgtheater. Alternatively, take the U2 metro line to Rathaus station. From there, it is a short 2–3 minute walk to the venue

We look forward to welcoming you for an enjoyable evening of networking, great food, and Viennese atmosphere.
