Wiener Stadthalle

Wiener Stadthalle is a multi-purpose indoor arena complex in Vienna that opened in the late 1950s and is used for concerts, sports and conferences. It is one of Austria’s principal indoor event venues and regularly hosts national and international acts.

The complex contains several halls of different sizes, with the largest hall used for major concerts and indoor sporting fixtures. It hosts a wide range of events from pop and classical concerts to trade fairs and sporting competitions.

Built in the postwar period to provide a modern indoor events facility for Vienna, the Stadthalle was developed as a versatile complex and has been upgraded and adapted over decades to meet changing technical and audience needs. It has played a central role in Vienna’s cultural and sporting calendar since opening.

The Stadthalle sits in the western district of Vienna, with good public-transport connections into the city and local tram and bus stops serving the arena.

• Uses: Designed as a multi-purpose indoor complex, it hosts concerts, sports (including ice hockey and basketball), conventions and cultural events throughout the year.
• Capacity and seating: The complex includes multiple halls with flexible seating; booking and seating plans vary by event, so check event-specific seating maps for exact capacities.
