Should you wish to dip your toes (back) into the world of travel, outdoor adventure, and photography, then Vienna might be the place to start. The Photo+Adventure fair and festival takes you on a journey around all three.
- Two-day event with dozens of exhibitors
- Includes talks, workshops, exhibitions, and more
- 2023 dates: TBA (was Nov 12-13 in 2022)

What is Photo+Adventure?
(Admittedly, I did not take this photo in the wild)
Photography, outdoor adventure and travel often go hand-in-hand (at least when the latter is allowed and advisable in the strange times we live in). Think of the Photo+Adventure event as a combination of (trade) fair and festival that covers all three.
The fair element sees numerous exhibitors presenting the latest products, trends, and technologies. These include the top camera brands, as well as travel agencies and travel destinations.
The festival element has featured such highlights as:
- Paid workshops and seminars
- Specialist talks
- Photo exhibitions, perhaps featuring entries and winners from competitions, curated exhibitions on particular themes, or highlights from particular photographers
Most of the above are, inevitably, “in German”, but since photography is a visual medium and English is everywhere these days, there’s still plenty to enjoy for non-German speakers. Check the official website (see below) for the next event’s offerings.
2023 dates & tickets
I don’t have the dates for the next Photo+Adventure. Watch this space or the event’s online channels. The 2022 dates were November 12th and 13th.
Day or weekend tickets should become available online from the official website along with information on your ticket options.
How to get to Photo+Adventure
The previous event took place at the Pyramide Wien, a location just outside Vienna in Vösendorf. It was easy to reach with public transport, though. You just jumped on the famous Badner Bahn: a rail line that leaves from the Oper/Karlsplatz stop in the city centre.
I await confirmation of the 2023 venue.
