Life Ball 2015: Fighting aids and celebrating life

Vienna is not only the host city of Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Vienna is also hosting the biggest charity event in Europe - The Life Ball. The 23rd edition of this glamorous and important event was held 16th May 2015. 

The theme of the year was GOLD VER SACRUM with refrences to ancient Rome. I assume that there are no golden shoes, tights or accessories to be found in any shop in Vienna after this weekend.

Enjoy the spectaculour dresses in this short slideshow. 

After the red carpet the Life Ball party was held inside the Vienna Rathaus for 3700 guests who could afford, are were lucky, to get a ticket.

Eurovision 2015: Crying at the Volksoper with La Bohème

We are following the message of Eurovision 2015 - Building Bridges. One night we went to see "La Bohème", one of Giacomo Puccini's most famous operas. Can you imagin - we found a bridge between year 2015 back into 1896. The other bridge went from Stadthalle to Volksoper and the third one connected Eurovision-music with opera.



Address to Volksoper Wien:
Währinger Straße 78
1090 Wien

Eurovision 2015: Cruising on the Danube with ESC-friends

Eurovision is not only about music. The contest also gives us a chance to discover a new city every year. A 'must' in Vienna is to take a cruise on the Danube. Thanks to Vienna Turismus for giving us the possibility to explore your nice city. www.wien.info




We had a nice time, enjoying the food onboard. So did the Estonian (Elina and Stig) and Lituanian artists (Monika and Vaidas).

Eurovision 2015: Breakfast with Leopold at Hawelka Café

Café Hawelka is a traditional café in Vienna. Not in the fancy style but with an old finish and ambience. You can still feel the spirit of Mr and Mrs Hawelka inside. Mr Leopold died in 2011, 100 years old. His wife Josefine died in 2005 and both were working in the café until the end.

The café is still in the family and run by the son Günter and his children.

You have to try their specialities - freshly baked Buchteln filled with plum jam.
