Concerts at Vienna University
Vienna Royal Orchestra

The current main building of the Vienna University on the Ringstraße was built between 1877 and 1884. Architect Heinrich Ferstel designed the building in the style of Italian High Renaissance, inspired by the universities of Padua and Genoa, creating a massive monumental building, referencing paragons from the Renaissance.

The ceremonial hall lies on the second floor of the Main Building.

How to get to the Vienna University

By public transportation

The Main Building of the Vienna University lies on the Ringstraße, next to the station Schottentor of the subway line U2 and the tramway lines 1, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 71 and D.

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.
