In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

The Raimund Theater was opened in 1893 as a public theater. Since 1987 it belongs to the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien and is the venue for breathtaking musical productions. Currently, the house has to undergo an urgent refurbishment and modernization and is therefore closed for the next months. In January 2021, the theater will be reopened in new splendor.

The Theater an der Wien is one of the most beautiful and historic theatres in Vienna. Built in 1801 in keeping with the spirit of Mozart by the composer's librettist Emanuel Schikaneder, it has seen numerous performances of historical significance, including Beethoven's sole opera, Fidelio. The theatre has been casting its spell for over two centuries now thanks to its exceptional acoustics and its authentic, intimate atmosphere. In 2015, the Theater an der Wien began its tenth season. Director Roland Geyer says of the theatre's successful strategy: "Since 2006, the Theater an der Wien has shown hundreds of new opera productions and enjoys an excellent reputation at home and abroad as a producer of first-class music theatre projects and one of Europe's foremost stagione opera houses."
We booked onto the tour of the theater and Mr Philip Wagner-Nguyen gave us the most interesting and informative tour of the front of house and backstage areas. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the history of the theater and was so passionate about the theatre that it was a delightful experience. An amazing building a highlight of our vacation in Vienna.
