Pool Fun Day! Summer In Vienna! The Best Open-Air Public Pools And The Danube Island

Vienna is well known for the most amazing public open-air outdoor pools. It's for sure a part of our culture to spend the hot summer days at the water, as much as we love to sit in our Coffeeshops for the doom and cold winter days, to read newspapers and sip on coffee with delicious cakes, sometimes for hours.

How lucky am I, that my mother lives in a building with this stunning pool on top of the roof. We got sauna and solarium for the winter and this privat cooling off option, just a few stairs up, where I can experience magnificent European summer sunsets around 8pm. 

I am used to sunsets in Bali not later than 6pm, so it feels like days are much longer here. Deep Sunset in Bali with Soulful Techno. I launched on every corner of various beaches in Indonesia but let me share those awesome pool days with public places you can swim for your next visit. I might even invite you to splash with us:) 

Every Monday I meet some of my friends for a special afternoon get-together, enjoying those European extremly hot summer days from the top of my world.

My happy friends and visitors. I also invite my airbnb guests occasionally. 

We even do Yoga at the pool! 

"BeachWednesday" Versus "PoolFunday" and a new tag for Steemit

Yes! I just started a new tag for steemit for all "city kids" who don't live close to the beach.

Public open-air swimming pools

My mother took us children to many of those places and I have the best memories, enjoying summers in Vienna.

When the heat sits heavy on my city, those swimming pools are incredibly refreshing and attractive also for tourists and a change from their sightseeing tours. 

Vienna’s summer pools are open from the beginning of May to mid-September.

The Danube Island was built as a highly sophisticated flood protection system stretching for 21 km. In 2002, it saved Vienna from being as drastically flooded as many other Austrian cities were. But most visitors know the Danube Island as a recreational mecca. There are countless opportunities for partying, relaxing and various sports activities. Here are some great reasons to visit the Danube Island.

Just Keep On Walking!

Schönbrunner Pool

Don't miss out to pack up your bathing suits to visit the imperial pool, which is open since 1900. Best to go right after or before your visit at the Schoenbrunn palace.
