Concerts at the Palais Daun-Kinsky
Vienna Residence Orchestra

The Palais Daun-Kinsky is a Baroque palace in Vienna's historic first district, near the Hofburg. Built between 1713 and 1719, it was commissioned by Count Wirich Philipp von Daun, a prominent Austrian field marshal. The palace was designed by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt, a leading Baroque architect, and features ornate stucco work by Alberto Camesina and frescoes by Carlo Carlone.

After the Daun family, the palace was later owned by the Kinsky family, giving it its current name. Over the centuries, it has served various purposes, from a noble residence to a venue for business and events. Today, it is admired for its richly decorated facade, grand staircase, and stunning interiors, making it a prime example of Vienna's Baroque elegance.

How to get to the Palais Daun-Kinsky

By public transportation

The Palais Kinsky is situated at the address Freyung No. 4 in the first district of Vienna. It is only a short walk from the subway station Schottentor of the subway line U2 and the station Herrengasse of the subway line U3.

By car

As with most concert venues in Vienna's first district (Innere Stadt), we recommend not going there by car. Vienna's historic centre has numerous narrow and one-way streets, and parking spaces can be difficult to find.

Please note that Vienna has a city-wide paid short-term parking zone (Kurzparkzone), generally in effect Monday to Friday (working days) from 9:00 to 22:00, with a maximum parking time of two hours. A valid parking ticket (Parkschein) is required when parking on the street during these hours. Parking tickets can be purchased at tobacconists and other sales points or electronically using Vienna's HANDYPARKEN service on your mobile phone.
For concert visitors arriving by car, a parking garage is usually the more convenient option.

By taxi

Taxis are a reliable and convenient way to travel to your concert. They can be found at taxi stands throughout Vienna or ordered by telephone or app. Two major Vienna taxi dispatch centres can be reached at  +43 1 31300 and  +43 1 40100.
