Viennale

Viennale ranks number 1 on our list, it is the most popular festival in Austria. The Viennale international film festival was founded to help Austria become a cultural superpower. This event attracts more than 90,000 guests each year. It was staged for the first time in 1960 to alleviate the stark realities of the Cold War. It has since evolved to be one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the German-speaking world. As a result, the crème de la crème of European cinema comes to Vienna each October to celebrate the year's outstanding documentaries, short films, and experimental explorations into cinema.

These film luminaries take over the city's historic center's numerous old theatres for screenings, director discussions, and galas. Needless to say, this is an essential must-see for film fans in Austria.

Time: October.
