Vienna, a City for Everyone: Where Everybody Feels at Home
30.9.2026
Vienna creates an environment that is open to everyone, regardless of their background. The city removes both physical and social barriers, promotes equal opportunities, and reflects the different life situations of its residents. The goal is to build a place where everyone can live with dignity, free from unnecessary obstacles, and fully participate in society.
Vienna’s Priorities
- fight against racism and discrimination
- protection of children and families
- active ageing
- barrier-free public transport and public spaces
Vienna’s Openness in Everyday Life
Vienna implements a wide range of initiatives for different groups of residents. The city promotes equal opportunities for girls and women and focuses on preventing violence against them. It supports families in difficult situations and helps create safe environments for children. Seniors are offered opportunities for education, employment, and community life. Newcomers receive support in their integration into society. At the same time, the city removes barriers in public spaces and public transport to make mobility as accessible as possible.
Culture for Everyone
Vienna is a city with a vibrant arts scene, where everyone can develop their talent regardless of origin or background. This is supported by the city’s cultural strategy, which guarantees equal conditions for artists. Culture is also accessible to people with limited means. For example, the Wien Museum offers free admission to its permanent exhibition and educational programmes, making it one of the key inclusive cultural institutions in Vienna.
