If you’re a classical music lover, you may have considered visiting Vienna, Austria. As the home of a large number of very famous composers including Mozart and Strauss, Vienna is a center of music history and performance. One way to take advantage of this is to see a concert in one of the many beautiful, historic concert venues around the city.
Mozart’s House
The house where Mozart lived and worked is a museum where you can learn about his life. On the ground floor is a small concert venue where you can hear a string quartet playing the music composed right where you sit.
St. Stevens Cathedral
St. Stephen’s cathedral is an internationally known landmark for its soaring gothic architecture and tall spires. Inside you can view some history about Christianity, and the prayer hall has amazing acoustics where you can see concerts if you come at the right time of year.
The Kursalon
Built in the 1800s, the Kursalon was a venue that hosted waltzes where Johann Strauss himself performed. You can now continue to see concerts in this historic building just like Austrians did back in the day. There is also a famous statue of Strauss right nearby.
