Fasching in the Bermuda Triangle
The German-speaking world’s take on carnival is called Fasching, and Cologne is its Rio. While Vienna can hardly claim to be a Fasching hotspot, a wander round the streets of the Bermuda Triangle zone of the Innere Stadt should prove much more exciting than on the average Tuesday with fancy dress contests, live bands and alcohol in abundance. Fasching also coincides with the main events of Vienna’s Ball Season, such as the glitzy Opera Ball on February 22.
