We missed the Vienna Philharmonic by days but secured tickets to experience performances in both the Golden and Brahm Halls. The Golden Hall was the premier one of the two with ample seating and amazing acoustics. The Brahm Hall was more intimate for smaller performances but it suffered from air circulation issues especially during the latest heatwave in Europe. We got to see a wonderful performance by a group of Northern California high schools (Monta Vista, Livermore and Lynbrook) in the Golden Hall. Tickets anywhere in the hall were just 10 Euros! The LLMV Symphony Orchestra and LLMV Wind Band split their performance across the almost 2 hours. The music choices and hall acoustics were beautiful. Parents and family were definitely here in numbers to cheer their sons/daughters on. Definitely a must to experience any performance here in the Golden Hall. The Die Schloss Capelle was a recurring performance in the Brahm Hall and the stand out for us with the 2nd half performance with a featured violinist soloist/lead who we felt really livened everything. There was a brief power outage near the beginning but the group was not flustered and kept on playing until the lighting returned! If it wasn't for the heat inside the hall then we would've enjoyed the performance more. So many of us were fanning ourselves with any piece of paper or fans we had. Multiple restrooms were available on each floor and I did not notice any significant lines. Programs were available to download via a QR Code. During the break, drinks and snacks were available outside the halls but not allowed inside. There were tables available for eating but very limited. Highly recommend planning a visit to enjoy the great sounds inside the Golden Hall. It will be memorable!

World Golden hall of classical music. Exceptional acoustic performance…read more Cannot be missed when in Vienna. Tickets for some particular shows are sold out in advance but you can opt for standing only if you wish. Drinks for intermission are off the long line, so not recommended.

I was very much looking forward to listening to live classical music while visiting Vienna, the…read moreclassical music capital of the world. One of my favorite concerti is Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I decided to buy a ticket to Karlskirche, aka St Charles Chuch. I'm SO GRATEFUL I got a student pricing for Section I (Section II, the cheaper section, was sold out, but I got a student discount for section I). I'm also so glad I came way earlier than the entrance time, because it was rainy and windy, and the storm was so strong, the staff ended up letting us in early. It was open seating as as long you were within your section, so I sat as close to the front as I could, and chose a spot closest to the aisle. It was an EPIC concert in such a gorgeous location. Whenever I hear Vivaldi's Winter (my favorite of the four seasons), I always think of the Continental Hotel fight scene from John Wick 3 lol. We weren't allowed to record the concert. However, there was a girl sitting the row in front of me who had been recording with her phone, and the entire time, no one came over to tell her to stop recording. There was also a guy further ahead in the VIP section who was recording A LOT. So, I figured, if they can record, then I can too. But then a guy came over and told me to put away my phone. The girl in front of me was recording too, and he also told her to stop. The baroque architecture of Karlskirche is out-of-this-world. I'm not religious, but listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons here was a visual and sonic feast and a spiritual experience that I will always remember.

What a treat!!! A beautiful palace, stunning grounds, and a world-class art museum all in one…read more.. WOW!! A must visit while in Vienna. We purchased skip-the-line tickets via Viator and rented the self-guided audio headsets (I think they were around $5 each, maybe a little more). The collection of art is beautiful, spanning many different periods. Their most famous piece is Klimt's The Kiss. I'll be honest -- I didn't know much about Gustav Klimt before, but after seeing his work, I'm now a big fan. After touring the art museum, stroll through the vast gardens. They are beautiful, both in the front and back.

Got there 15 mins after our time slot started (9:15). It was great, no line, sailed right in. Noted other time slots had a significant wait. Hands down, it's a gorgeous building. That stair case and grand room took my breath away. Some gorgeous sculptures, paintings, rooms and ceilings. And then a stroll afterwards in the gorgeous gardens. Those gardens would be beautiful to sit with a coffee or a snack on a nice day. Recommend!!

Coming to the Mozarthaus was an absolutely incredible museum experience…read more We got to learn SO much about the works of Mozart and enjoy the experience with so many people that love music and his masterpieces. It was an amazing bonding experience with people I've never seen or will ever see before. Just being in the same room with people sharing the same interest and love for such a legend, was truly humbling. We spent a couple of hours here and really enjoyed everything about it. There were some interactive elements and it was so cool getting to be in the same HOUSE that Mozart lived in and composed. 10/10 recommend if you're in Vienna, even if you don't know much about Mozart, it's something you'll walk our from feeling so rich.

It was interesting to see that this was where he lived. There were multiple rooms and displays with information about his life and career. While I enjoy classical music, I'm not terribly well-versed, though I'm sure Mozart nerds will enjoy exploring the rooms. Was able to walk through Mozarthaus under 1 hour. It's a short walk from St Stephen's Cathedral and easy to find with the help of Google Maps.
