Design for everyone! With its great diversity of workshops and tour programs, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK invites visitors of all ages to be informed, entertained, and inspired. In short: to experience design in the flesh. In addition to the fascinatingly diverse explorations through Vienna in general and the Focus District in particular, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2020 offers educational programs on key themes such as architecture, social design and handcrafts.

Especially for school groups: our school tours show how design influences our daily life and where it’s produced in Vienna. Furthermore, there’s a handout for teachers to help them with their own guided tour through the world of design.

Please note that your ticket for the tour must be brought digitally or printed out and presented.
