Hard Rock Cafe Vienna

When talking about tourist bars and nightclubs, the Hard Rock Café in Vienna is a mandatory stop. Situated at Rotenturmstraße 25, this is the best place to see some unusual music history clothes and instruments. Freddie Mercury’s jumpsuit and the Coldplay piano will keep you in good company while you have your juicy burger with a cold beer. The Hard Rock Café Vienna was born during the summer of 2014 and functions as a typically American eatery based on the principle “first come, first served”. Having the waiting lines in mind, there are some local agencies where you may find vouchers to skip these lines and book in advance. Once you finish with the feast, make sure to wander around the Rock Shop and get some of their unique souvenirs with the very famous Hard Rock logo. The concept of the place is mixed, so while inside you can see a multilevel construction featuring a chic bar and a performance space for live bands, accompanied by an outdoor terrace to enjoy on a sunny day. You can simply walk around to check all things in display or check out the interactive touch-screen wall. If you are a rock freak, then stop by at this place for an unforgettable piece of memorabilia.
