Digital scavenger hunt on the topic of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Vienna

🌟 This is what awaits you

Are you ready to go behind the scenes of the world capital of music? This interactive scavenger hunt takes you from the vibrant City Hall Square through imperial gardens to the glittering Danube Canal. You'll follow in the footsteps of Austria's greatest Eurovision Song Contest successes and discover details on historical monuments that even seasoned Viennese often miss. You'll feel the rhythm of the city!

Discover what Mozart has to do with the Eurovision Song Contest, where Conchita Wurst made music history, and how our current champion JJ reconciled the Vienna State Opera with electronic beats. Whether with friends, family, or as a team event – Vienna is waiting to be explored by you in the "United by Music" vibe!
