Many places in the city offer public viewing of the matches. The "Krone" knows where fans can experience that pure stadium feeling as if they were there live.

The kick-off of the long-awaited European Football Championship is just around the corner. It will finally take place from June 14 to July 14, 2024. On June 17 at 9 p.m. at the latest, the whole of Austria will be gripped by soccer fever when the Austrian national team plays its first match against France. This time, soccer fans will get their money's worth:

• Rathausplatz: there will be a public viewing area exclusively for the Austria matches, the final and semi-final of Euro 2024 on Rathausplatz. On the match days on June 17, 21 and 25 as well as July 9, 10 and 14, the area in front of the big screens will be transformed into a lively fan arena. In addition, the usual diverse culinary offerings of the film festival, which opens on June 29, are already available. 
  
  The "Krone" will also be there with an on-site photo box for the perfect souvenir photo. In addition, all Krone BonusCard holders will receive a voucher for a free coffee at the Espressomobil in the Gastromeile.
