Vienna is the city of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and the Strauss family, and you can hear their music on almost any evening of the year. The concerts on this page are aimed at visitors and take place in historic settings: the Golden Hall of the Musikverein, Baroque churches such as St Peter's, St Anne's and Karlskirche, the Orangery at Schönbrunn and palaces around the old town. Programmes usually mix Mozart, Strauss waltzes and Vivaldi, and some performers wear period costume.

Before you book

Check the venue, the length of the programme and whether your ticket is for a numbered seat. Prices vary widely, from about €15 for a church concert to well over €100 with dinner. For the State Opera, standing places are sold only on the day, and the Vienna Philharmonic's own concerts sell through the Musikverein box office, not on these pages.
