The Pratersauna is best described as a combination of art, culture, music, nightlife, and lifestyle. Operating under the same name since 1965, the place has more than just a reputation: in its glory days, the Pratersauna was known not only as a meeting place for the Russian mafia, but also as a hotspot of the Viennese gay scene. Today, the location includes a family-friendly swimming pool during the day, students in the afternoon, and true ’60s dance parties at night.
