Review of Schönbrunn Palace Concerts in Vienna, with seating, music, VIP value, transport tips, venue notes, and practical advice.
“The musicians/concert was excellent but too many distractions with crowd conduct. Large group of tourists wearing hats to an indoor night concert. No cameras allowed but this was not enforced. Too much group talking. People moving into more favorable seats at break time to be closer to performance, tickets where priced based closest to stage therefore caused an issue with cheaper seats trying to move into the more expensive seats.”
Review of Vienna’s Schönbrunn evening tour with palace access, Austrian dinner, Mozart and Strauss concert, seating tips, and practical advice.
“Firstly, the palace, tour of the apartments and the concert was absolutely wonderful. There was just a lack of information which made it very difficult to find the orangerie which we found out was outside the palace grounds and a little walk. We were almost late because of this. The restaurant meal was very good, but the were very black and white with no changes allowed. Concert was fantastic and made the whole event.”

After a long journey from Campbeltown Argyll starting out at 1pm uk Sunday we arrived Vienna midday Monday so were somewhat tired, but we were wowed by the venue's beauty then the music was beyond words. The enthusiastic performance which was obviously enjoyed by all of the performers had us on the edge of our seats. So even though on the back row, we felt totally in the moment.
