Halloween: Ghost Tour in Laxenburg Castle Park

A colourful altar in the Columned Hall and a programme exploring Mexico’s Day of the Dead: visit Stephany Rodríguez Cabañas’s ofrenda, decorate skulls or make paper skeletons with children. On 1 November, the artist introduces the altar in four free tours. Access to the ofrenda is free; many workshops and other tours require a ticket.

From 22 October to 3 November, the Viennale brings international films and conversations to Gartenbaukino, Stadtkino, Urania, the Austrian Film Museum and METRO Kinokulturhaus. The programme and ticket sales are open. Tickets are available online, by phone and at festival box offices. For sold-out screenings, queue numbers for possible remaining tickets are issued from 30 minutes before the start.

A Halloween puzzle trail takes families through spooky secrets at the Children’s Museum. It is included in museum admission from 27 October to 2 November. Usual hours are 9:30 am–5 pm; on 29 and 30 October the museum closes at 3:30 pm, with last admission at 2:30 pm. Book a museum ticket for your visit.
