If you immediately think of steep forest trails and technical gear when you hear “hiking day ,” you’re fortunately way off the mark here. The concept is thoroughly urban and focuses on what works best in Vienna anyway: pure coziness and a cold drink in your own neighborhood. From April 1 to 30, 2026, the Ottakringer Seidl Hiking Days send you on a rather unconventional discovery tour through the authentic local dining scene.
The concept for your April
The rules for this campaign are wonderfully straightforward. You purchase a fixed-price ticket for exactly 49 euros and receive the so-called “ReiseBIERgleiter”—including a stamp pass—in your hands. Your mission is then quite simple: Visit a participating partner venue in each of Vienna’s 23 districts over the course of the month and pick up a pre-paid, freshly tapped Ottakringer Seidl there.
So the event is the ultimate excuse to get to know quaint taverns, pubs, and inns that you might never have stumbled upon in your everyday life.

Complete freedom in choosing your route
You have complete flexibility on your tour and aren’t tied to any set times. Whether you visit three districts in a row on a free Saturday or stick to one spot per evening after work is entirely up to you. The list of participating establishments ranges from a traditional family-run business in the 10th district to a modern bar in Neubau.
It’s best to order your package with the 23 vouchers online in advance. However, you can also pick it up directly at the Ottakringer Shop at Ottakringer Straße 95 and then start right away in the 16th district with your first stamp.
What many don’t know after the 23rd stamp
Anyone who actually manages to visit all the districts and fills up the passport by the end should definitely not throw the booklet in the recycling bin. If you present your fully completed collection pass at the Ottakringer Shop by May 31, 2026, you’ll receive a little surprise as a reward. Just plan your outings well, and it’s easily doable—and a really great reason to head out on those spring evenings.
