Heat Drives Viennese to Outdoor Pools

Climate and Pool City Councillor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) described the Viennese pools in a statement on Wednesday as "important heat protection partners," stating that they, along with green spaces and public drinking fountains, play a crucial protective role against high temperatures. "Heat can become a real health problem, especially for vulnerable groups," warned Czernohorszky.

Viennese Outdoor Pools Prepare for Swimming Rush

Since the end of May, more than 807,000 guests have used Vienna's outdoor pool offerings for cooling down, which, according to the city, is an increase of 24 percent compared to the previous year. The outdoor pools are therefore preparing for the numerous guests with uniform entrance fees and a wide range of entertainment and cultural programs. Keeping access affordable is just as much an "important cornerstone of social Vienna," emphasized Czernohorszky.

For adults, the regular entrance fee is 7.60 euros, for teenagers between 15 and 18 it is 4.30 euros. Seven to 14-year-olds pay 2.60 euros, and children under seven can enter the outdoor pool for free.
