Okay, the European Cup is over. The streets of Vienna, where the Spanish claimed European victory, have been scrubbed clean and the hooligans (strangely absent without England in the tournament) are back home. But hey, it’s still warm at night and this is still the always-cool capital of Austria. So, grab your swim trunks and your RVCA T-shirt and head to Badeschiff, a converted orange-dipped ship moored on the banks of the Danube. Spend the day in the pool, pop down to the main floor and eat a bratwurst, then run back up to watch the sunset. The heated pool, which is open till well past midnight, is on deck, while the two levels below offer more than a night’s worth of decadent entertainment. At night, the cargo hold is transformed into the main club. Badeschiff’s eclectic nature keeps it packed with the city’s slickest, from club freaks to Viktor and Rolf-clad hipsters. If you’ve never partied on a boat in the summertime with a thousand of your best Austrian friends, this is the place to do it.
