Classical concerts at the Konzerthaus

After a construction period of only two years, the Vienna Konzerthaus was opened on the 19th of October 1913 with Emperor Franz Joseph I in attendance. The ceremonious concert was an illustrious combination of tradition and modernity. Richard Strauss himself composed especially for this evening "Festliches Praeludium op. 61".

The architecture is an eclectic combination of late historicism, secessionism and Art Nouveau. The result is a stunning and unique building, that has largely been preverved in its original state.

Concerts halls at the Konzerthaus

Great Hall

The heart of the Konzerthaus is the Great Hall (Großer Saal). Its architecture stands for a lavish sense of space and balance.

Mozart Hall

The Mozart Hall (Mozart Saal) with its unique acoustics is a jewel among the concerts halls.

Schubert Hall

The Schubert Hall (Schubert Saal) is an ideal place for all kinds of chamber music as its festive character is based on the music salons.

By public transportation

You can reach the Konzerthaus via the U4 subway station Stadtpark. Or take the local tram #2, #71 or D to station Schwarzenbergplatz.

By car

As is the case with all concerts that take place in the first district (Innere Stadt), we recommend to not go there by car. Vienna's first district is a labyrinth of narrow one-way streets and blind ends and parking is at best difficult, more often impossible.
Please note that all of Vienna is a short-term parking zone (Kurzparkzone) from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 22:00 with a maximum parking time of two hours. Prepaid parking vouchers may be purchased at tobacconists, all points of advance sale and ticket machines at all Vienna public transport underground stations, automobile clubs ARBÖ and ÖAMTC and some petrol/gas stations or online with your mobile phone at www.handyparken.at (registration required).

By taxi

Taxis are a reliable and common means to get to your concert. Taxis are usually found at train stations and at taxi stands all over the city. Or you can order a taxi by calling: 31 300, 60 160, 40 100 oder 81 400.
