Naschmarkt, the 6th and the Ringstrasse in June
Vienna's queer life runs through the 6th district and Naschmarkt area, with bars and cafés spread between Mariahilf, Neubau and the inner city. The Regenbogenparade on the Ringstrasse every June and the Life Ball tradition give the city one of Europe's warmest Pride seasons.
