Pollen information for the Eurovision Song Contest from 11 to 17 May

With the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest approaching, Vienna is gearing up for a busy week, and the outdoor programme may be of interest to people with pollen allergies. While indoor pollen levels are usually low, moderate to high levels of grass pollen are expected, particularly at outdoor events such as the public viewing on Rathausplatz. In addition, locally flowering trees such as lime and hackberry trees may also cause symptoms. 

A detailed forecast can be found under 'Pollen levels during the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest'.

The team at the Austrian Pollen Information Service wishes you an exciting and as far as possible, symptom-free ESC week and hopes you enjoy the show!
