Copa Cagrana: Vienna’s Summer Nights on the Danube

Quick answer: Copa Cagrana is a summer-only riverside strip on the Danube near the Reichsbrucke in Vienna – quiet by day, and busy with bars, restaurants and open-air discos once night falls.

Copa Cagrana, connected to the “Sunken City” island by a pontoon bridge, is where Vienna goes for a Danube-side night out in summer. See our Vienna local guide for the rest of the city.

A promenade that only wakes up at night

The bar and restaurant scene here developed in the 1980s along the waterfront near the Reichsbrucke. Before nightfall the site is very calm; after dark, the numerous cocktail bars, restaurants and open-air discotheques fill in and stay busy into the early morning.

Who goes, and why

Drink prices are low, and partygoers of all ages come here together to celebrate until the early hours – it’s a broader crowd than a typical single nightclub draws.
