The city of Vienna aims to console Taylor Swift fans who have arrived for the cancelled concerts by offering them a free hamburger at a gourmet burger restaurant.

Several other establishments are also offering "Swifties" free drinks, including a coffee chain.

Swifties who like the classic along with the contemporary can visit the renowned Albertina Museum collection for free with their Swift ticket. A vintage store is offering a 20% discount on second-hand goods.

And for those who'd prefer to drown their sorrow with some exercise, Vienna's public baths are offering their cheapest entry fee - €2.60 ($2.84) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for those with a ticket.

Still, not everyone is giving up on the massively popular songs from the US artist. TV footage showed hundreds of Swift fans gathering at Vienna's St Stephen's Cathedral to sing several songs by the megastar.
