Very big building and good show ! Unfortunately i found it a little bit pricey for €18 entry ticket for 1 person / child. Can you imagine how much family must pay to see their daughter/son ? But of course I know its not because of the building itself. Nevertheless, i love to see my child perform there for us .. !!!

Recently I participated in a get-to-know-each-other experience at the Vienna Islamic Centre. It…read morewas an occasion for people of different faith traditions to come together, break bread, and grow in mutual respect. I found the Vienna mosque to be very peaceful place that encouraged contemplation. I was warmly greeted. It was really fine how people from so many different backgrounds could interact with such warmth and peace. Hey, I don't think there would be any wars based on hatred if more people of different traditions spent significant time interacting together. The Vienna Mosque has a recognizable design on the outside with pleasant gardens surrounding it. It is also bordering the park along the Neue Donau. Inside it has well-designed areas for the practice of religion, education, and socialization. It is well worth a visit.

This is an original Josef Kornhäusl building and one of the very best examples remaining in this city showing off the genius of this Viennese Neo-classical/Biedermeier architect. The main auditorium is stunning with its oval design and multiple balconies. It also has great acoustics. There is an attractive community hall and dining room as well as an upstairs outdoor terrace where a Sukkah can be built. The Stadttempel is right in the middle of Vienna's Bermuda Triangle and coincidentally just around the corner from the oldest chuch in Vienna - Ruprectskirche. It is an important part of Vienna's history.

One good reason to visit Perskirche was to attend their free daily concerts scheduled at 3pm. Normally it would be an organ concert but this month they had visiting groups from around the world (a Florida group sang during our visit). The concert lasted around 45 minutes and the both the singers and acoustics were impressive. It doesn't matter where you sit to appreciate the performance. However, the pews were quite uncomfortable for the entire duration. The seatback ended about midway up my back and had an edge that dug into it making it hard to sit up straight. I'd recommend sitting in the overflow chairs that were placed in the aisles since they were of a modern design!
