PyCon Austria 2027 is the national Python conference of Austria, an annual, volunteer-organised and non-profit event run by the Python Austria association. It is free and open to the public, and serves developers, data practitioners, students and enthusiasts from across Austria and the wider Python community. The 2027 edition is listed as an in-person event in Eisenstadt, the capital of Burgenland, in April 2027, continuing a run of spring conferences held in the city in recent years. Programme details such as the venue, tracks and session formats had not yet been published on the official site at the time of listing, so updates should be checked there closer to the date. As with previous editions, the conference is expected to feature talks on Python, open source and community topics, giving attendees a chance to learn from practitioners and meet others who use the language in their work. Because attendance is free, it lowers the barrier for newcomers and students. A Python conference in Eisenstadt also gives the Austrian community a regular home of its own, strengthening local open-source networks beyond the capital.
PyCon Austria 2027 takes place April 25–27, 2027 in Eisenstadt, Austria.
PyCon Austria 2027 is an in-person event.

Eisenstadt is small even by Austrian standards, a former princely seat of about fifteen thousand people set among the vineyards of Burgenland. Late April brings green hills and warm afternoons an hour south of Vienna. A Python conference here means a walkable town rather than a conference district: a baroque palace, a single main pedestrian street, and wine taverns that serve the surrounding growers' own bottles.
Vienna International (VIE) is the arrival airport, roughly fifty minutes away by road. Trains and buses run from Vienna to Eisenstadt in about an hour, with a change at Wiener Neustadt on some rail routes; the direct bus is often simpler. Bratislava airport (BTS) is a similar distance for budget carriers. The town itself needs no transport beyond walking.

Austrian coverage is strong in Burgenland, and cross-border roaming towards Hungary can trigger unexpected network switching near the frontier. An eSIM with regional coverage avoids surprise charges when wandering the vineyards close to the border. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Schloss Esterhazy. The ochre baroque palace dominating the town, historically the Esterhazy family seat and the workplace of Joseph Haydn for three decades. The Haydn Hall is still used for concerts and has notable acoustics. Guided access covers the state rooms. Allow ninety minutes. Tickets on Tiqets →
Bergkirche and the Haydn mausoleum. A hillside church holding Haydn's tomb, with an unusual artificial calvary of chapels and passages built into the structure that visitors climb through. It is a short uphill walk from the centre. Quiet and rarely busy. Allow an hour including the calvary route.
Burgenland vineyards and Neusiedler See. Vine-covered slopes run straight out of town, and the shallow steppe lake of Neusiedler See lies twenty minutes east, ringed with reed beds and cycle paths. It is a UNESCO-listed cultural landscape shared with Hungary. Bicycle hire is straightforward. A half day.
Vienna day trip. An hour away, making an easy extension either side of the conference. A single afternoon covers the inner Ring, St Stephen's Cathedral and a coffee house without rushing. Trains and buses run frequently enough that no advance planning is required. Tickets on Tiqets →
Which airport should be booked?
Vienna International is the practical choice at around fifty minutes by road. Bratislava is comparable in distance and sometimes cheaper on budget routes.
Is a car needed in Eisenstadt?
No for the town, which is walkable throughout. A car or bicycle helps for reaching the lake and the surrounding wine villages.
What is the weather like in late April?
Pleasant spring conditions, warm in the afternoon and cool after dark. Burgenland is among the sunniest and driest parts of Austria.
