Retrace the steps of the nobility of years past, exploring the Schönbrunn palace at sunset, eating in the Residenz restaurant, and enjoying a classical music concert from the most famous palace orchestra in the world.
Schönbrunn Palace with Dinner and Concert
The evening begins with a visit to the Schönbrunn Palace, the most famous in Vienna. It's said that Emperor Franz Josef I had a special love for this palace and its gardens, and Empress Maria Theresa would spend every summer here.
Having toured the palace, dinner is served in the Residenz restaurant, an exclusive spot found in one of the buildings in the palace. The menu consists of three courses, and for dessert: apfelstrudel from the palace bakery, for many the best in the world.
La velada comienza visitando el interior del Palacio Schönbrunn, el más famoso de Viena. Se dice que el emperador Francisco José I tenía una predilección especial por este palacio y sus jardines. La emperatriz María Teresa pasaba aquí todos los veranos.
To top the experience, you'll then enjoy interpretations of the music of Mozart and Strauss by the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra. The concert takes place in the orangery, where Mozart and Salieri once competed to demonstrate to the court who was the best composer. Having said this, the show occasionally takes place in the Grand Gallery, which in the imperial age was the perfect setting for dances and ceremonies of all types. The White and Gold hall is another of the corners of the palace where these concerts take place, even more intimate and special.
The concert lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes. The exact programme changes daily.
