Classical Music: What a classic!
  • Tip Rating:
  • After being baroque-d out and having your fill of Gothic churches, you will probably start to notice that a certain type of music has found a home in Wien (or Vienna if your prefer). Apart from the Wagnerian kiosk and the gilded statues of Strauss and Mozart you might choose to go to the toilet.

    May I indulge and quote you from my Emails: "I don't think anything will top the toilet in Vienna, painted in Mozart and Strauss themes with their music playing softly from the speakers and then the attendant flinging the doors of two cubicles open (while I was doing god's work at the urinal) shouting "Raus, raus" as he ushered the bleary eyed drug addicts out after having their hit, one of them female who'd been sharing a cubicle with her boyfriend. Though somewhat startled to say the least, I maintained my decorum throughout the whole incident, even managing to do my fly up correctly."

    Classical Music: Balls are big in Vienna
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Vienna social season revolves around various balls. I attended my first (and only) one on 28 February 2003 - the Flüchtlings Ball. This was held at the Vienna Rathaus, a huge building, and was quite informal. The thousands of people attending were dressed in everything from jeans to ball gowns. Opernball, probably the most famous of the balls attended by Vienna's high society, had been held the previous day. There was lots on TV and in the papers about the presence of ex-Baywatch star Pamela Anderson. She had been invited as the guest of Dickie Lugner, an Austrian playboy who made his fortune through construction. More information about Vienna's ball at: www.virtualvienna.net/holidays/balls/ballsmain.html

    Classical Music: Art and song
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Austria there is a nationalistic pride that I have not seen anywhere else in the world. The people here are are so proud to be Austrain, of their culture, of their art and song. Experience the way of life for the locals and walk a mile or two in their shoes. Eat their food, drink their drinks and live their lives. Enjoy Austria!

    Classical Music: Burggarten - the Mozart Memorial
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Burggarten, in the past, was not open to the public like its relative, the Volksgarten. The two gardens are separated by the Neue Burg, the youngest and biggest building in the Hofburg complex. The Burggarten has a memorial statue for Mozart - "Mozart Denkmal".

    Classical Music: Vienna General Tips Tip (Untitled)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Some say that Vienna is one of those places everyone should see once in their life. I disagree - it's hard to visit once and not want to come back again and again... There is so much more to Vienna than the Blue Danube waltz... Picture: Johann Strauss Monument (City park)

    This has to be visiting so many of the houses that the composer Beethoven lived in during his life. We love his music and by visiting the houses you really learn more of his life. Music and its history just seem to fill the air in Vienna and it is what takes us back time and time again.

    Classical Music: Vienna General Tips Tip (Untitled)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Enjoying the music festival at the town hall. The screen showed the perfomance and the music (opera or classic) filled the air. Delicious aroma permeated from nearby food stalls. It is a magnificent way to spend a summer evening in Vienna.
