Highlights of the concert hall include the Golden Hall, an ornate, gilt-clad auditorium with a frescoed ceiling, chandeliers, and luxurious balconied stalls. Join a Vienna city tour to take in the Musikverein’s architecture from the outside or opt for a tour of its interior, which are offered by the Musikverein. To experience the Golden Hall in all its glory, book tickets for an evening concert or make an evening of it with a dinner-and-concert package.
Vienna Musikverein (Wiener Musikverein) is located at Musikvereinsplatz 1 along the Ringstrasse in the center of Vienna’s Old Town. The closest metro station is Karlsplatz on metro lines U1, U2, and U4.
The outside of the Musikverein can be viewed all day, but to see the interiors you need to join a guided tour which are available every day except Sunday. Check the website for detailed tour times.
Vienna has a rich musical heritage associated with composers and musicians such as Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart. In addition to the Vienna Musikverein, music aficionados can visit the Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper); Mozarthaus, where Mozart once lived; and the Central Cemetery (Wiener Zentralfriedhof), home to the tombs of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Johann Strauss.
