“My husband and I had a great time at this concert. The performers were great and obviously enjoyed what they were doing. This translated into their performances of the pieces and their engagement with the audience. The Orangery was a beautiful venue - historic and not too big. We were lucky enough to be there when the Christmas markets were on. The lady at the ticket office gave us a voucher to get a free drink from one of the stalls which served the most delicious chicken schnitzel and potatoes in a cone. All round a wonderful night in Vienna.”

Visit Schönbrunn Palace after closing with a self-guided audio tour, eat a three-course Austrian dinner nearby, then hear Mozart and Strauss in the Orangery. Choose VIP seating for front rows, priority access, drinks, and a program.

“The reasons I give 3 stars are the following two: 1. There should be detailed directions and photos for the meeting point as well as for the opera building. Otherwise it's very crowded place and hard to figure it out . 2. The concert was a joke. The floor was not inclined and the chairs were aligned back to back. As a result you could not see anything. I left in less than 5 min. If you ask me if I would do it again the answer is No.”

15.Schönbrunn Palace Concerts in Vienna

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 889 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

Spend about 90 minutes hearing Mozart and Strauss with a Schönbrunn Palace orchestra or ensemble, plus vocal soloists, in the Orangery or a palace room. Choose standard or VIP seating. VIP adds priority entry, two drinks, a program, and free cloakroom service.

“Beautiful 90 minute concert featuring the works of Mozart & Straus! The venue felt a bit thrown together and while technically on the grounds of Schönbrunn Palace, it was NOT a palatial experience. The concert is held in a temporary area palace-adjacent (Orangerie)…in essence the garden building/shed. The musicians and opera singers were of high quality and we enjoyed the performance. The only shortcomings are the “ambiance” and exclusively tourist audience. I concede that it’s a tough time of year for music in Vienna.”
