Talks, tours, and workshops

have always been at the heart of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK – this is where design becomes tangible, discussable, and understandable. In 2025, the program ranges from guided tours through the festival headquarters and hidden spots in the city to hands-on workshops and high-profile talks with international guests from design, architecture, culture, and science. Whether you join a bike tour for new perspectives, get creative in a workshop, or reflect on current issues in a talk – it’s always about understanding design as part of everyday life. These encounters, conversations, and moments resonate far beyond the festival itself.
