Palais Schönborn Batthyány
Baroque Orchestra concerts

Amidst impressive historic city centre, where in former days the well-known Field Marshal Adam Count Batthyány was living, still stands one of Vienna’s architectural masterpieces. Palais Schönborn-Batthyány was built in 1699, after plans of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, the architect of Vienna’s St. Charles Church. The impressive concert hall invites you to an unforgettable evening full of virtuous musicians and superb opera singers. Plunge into a wonderful world of courtly tradition and exquisite classical music. So discover the traditional and most beautiful side of Vienna.

How to get to the Palais Schönborn Batthyány

Please note that there is a different, albeit similarly named, Palais Schönborn (without "Batthyány") in the 8th district. If you go to the concert hall by taxi, make sure that the driver takes you to the Palais Schönborn Batthyány in the 1st district.

By public transport

The Palais can be reached from the subway station Herrengasse of the U3 and the station Schottentor of subway-line U2.

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.
