I hope you will not miss the cub in Vienna, because March seems a bit early, usually cubs leave dens around middle of March, but can be later when winter lasts longer. In case you will have time and willing to make a longer trip by train, I can recomend going though Linz (nice town) and České Budějovice (nice town with famous beer brewery Pivovar Budweis). Along the way visit pretty Český Krumlov (small town popular with Korean/Japanese tourists) and Hluboká nad Vltavou (nice chatteau and small Zoo Ohrada nearby, both open during winter). Just enter all these names into google and look at pictures. Around ponds in Hluboka you are guaranteed to see many sea eagles, variety of ducks, grebes etc. Just 4 train stops west from Krumlov, on weekend, you can visit Vojenský újezd Boletice (it is army training area during working days), it has wild lynxes, wolves and high density of Ural owls. Another good birdwatching spot is Vrbenské rybníky, fishponds on north outskirt of Budejovice, with visible colony of spoonbills and night herons.
Thank you @Jana for the suggestions of seeing species in the wild; it is something I may do more of in the near future. I have the last week of March booked off at the moment, so am hoping I have the luck of early appearances from a cub or two somewhere; this past year, Berlin's Hertha was out in the first week of April, maybe earlier.
Polar bears in Spanish zoos: -) Barcelona Zoo -) Madrid Casa de Fieras (former zoo in Parque del Retiro, closed in 1972) -) Madrid Zoo -) Matapozuelos Zoo -) Santander Mini Zoo in Parque de la Magdalena. There are currently no polar bears in any zoo in Spain
Bremerhaven quoted theirs as being the 10th set of cubs(or cub) born in zoos this year- that is Worldwide not just Europe.
On the 22nd of November a polar bear was born at Zoo Mulhouse. It's the second young for the parents Vicks and Sesi. Carnet rose : un petit ourson polaire est né au zoo de Mulhouse
Not that I will get to see any this year, but have there been anymore little ones this winter? Mulhouse only have a couple of photos inside the den of theirs.
In Spain, in addition to the zoos that I mentioned at the time (Barcelona Zoo, Madrid Casa de Fieras (former zoo in Parque del Retiro, closed in 1972), Madrid Zoo, Matapozuelos Zoo, Santander Mini Zoo in Parque de la Magdalena, there were also polar bears at the Jerez Zoo. There are currently no polar bears in any zoo in Spain
After the multiple births and relocations of Polar bears and because I've had some time on my hands, I made a list of all European Polar Bears. Spoiler: Polar bears in Europe There are currently 145 (62,79,4) Polar bears living in Europe (of what i could find).

On 14 November two polar bears were born in Zoo Rostock. For mother Sizzel and father Akiak it is the first time they have had young. Everything seems to go well with the youngsters, which gives good hope that they will survive their first critical days and weeks. Source: Instagram of Zoo Rostock

In Tallinn Zoo, polar bear Frida gave birth to a cub. Unfortunately, the cub died after a few days. The cub made several attempts to drink from its mother, but it was never seen by the keepers. An empty stomach confirmed this at the autopsy. The cause of death however lies elsewhere. A haemorrhage was discovered in the abdominal cavity, caused by the tearing of the umbilical cord and the liver.
