Arts & Visitor Attractions

St. Stephen’s Cathedral
St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna’s no. 1 landmark and Austria’s
most eminent Gothic edifice, was constructed between the 14th
and 16th centuries. The oldest part of the cathedral is the late
Romanesque west façade from the original 13th century church,
with the great portal (the main entrance) and “Towers of the Hea-
thens”, and the gallery inside. An express elevator in the North
Tower takes visitors to a viewing platform and the Pummerin, Aus-
tria’s largest bell.
In the South Tower a narrow spiral staircase with 343 steps leads
up to the watchman’s room 72 meters up. The catacombs, once
an underground burial site, house the bishops’ crypt as well
as the urns containing the entrails of members of the House of
Habsburg.
St. Stephen’s Cathedral also has a number of art treasures, sever-
al of which can only be seen on a guided tour. They include the red
marble tomb of Emperor Friedrich III, a pulpit constructed around
1500 where priests used to deliver their sermons, and the Wiener
Neustadt Altarpiece, a winged Gothic altar dating from 1447.
Open to visitors: Mon–Sat 06:00–22:00, Sun, public hol.

Parliament
Theophil Hansen constructed the Parliament building on the Ring

til 1918 the elected representatives serving in the Council of the
Empire met here in legislative session for the Austrian half of the
dual Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which extended from Galicia all
the way to Dalmatia. Today this is the seat of both the National
and the Federal Council.

Belvedere Palace
(formerly Austrian Gallery Belvedere)
Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736), the most brilliant military
mind of his age, commissioned Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt
to design and build this garden palace as a summer residence.
The palace complex is regarded as one of the most exquisite ba-
roque ensembles in the world. Today the Upper Belvedere houses
an eminent collection. Twenty-five works by Gustav Klimt includ-
ing his famous “Kiss” are joined by masterpieces by Schiele and
Kokoschka, prominent French impressionist works, and the most
important paintings of the Biedermeier era with compositions by
Waldmüller, Fendi, Amerling, Romako, Makart, Boeckl, Wotruba,
Hausner, Hundertwasser and many others. Further inspiration is
provided by the grimacing character heads of Messerschmidt from
the Baroque era and the medieval Znaim Altarpiece. The Lower
Belvedere houses the magnificent living quarters of Prince Eu-
gene. Together with the Orangery it hosts impressive special exhi-
bitions. In between lies a magnificent baroque garden providing a
unique view of Vienna.

Villazón. Viennese operetta is a byword for exciting
entertainment – from Texas to Tokyo. And Vienna is

Shopping in Vienna: A Winning Experience!

© WienTourismus/Gerhard Weinkirn
© Wien-Tourismus/Robert Osmark

In January and February 2008 there will be more
reasons than ever for spending a shopping holiday in
Vienna.
Apart from 20,000 stores, a mega contest awaits
visitors to the Austrian capital during this period. The
top prize is a luxury trip for two to Vienna including
€ 10,000 in spending money. In addition, there are
terrific instant prizes for all who submit entry forms
at the Vienna Tourist Info (Albertinaplatz/corner of
Maysedergasse, 1st district, Tel. (+43 1) 24 555, open
09:00–19:00 daily).
When the promotion starts, the “shop&win” brochure
will be available at Vienna hotels and the Tourist Info.
It contains all the necessary information as well as an
entry form for the competition.
Shopping is one of the favorite pastimes of the Viennese
and naturally also of most visitors to Vienna. Indeed,
there are plenty of opportunities for shopping in Vienna!
Whether flagship department stores, small boutiques,
antique shops, jewelers, bookshops, or designer fur-
nishing stores – in Vienna you will find everything that
the shopper’s heart could desire.
There are no longer standardized opening hours in
Vienna, since the governing legislation is much more
flexible than it was just a few years ago. The shops of
the city’s main streets and shopping centers are gener-
ally open from Monday to Friday 09:00–18:30, Satur-
day 09:00–17:00. Many are open till 21:00 on Thurs-
days and Fridays. On Sundays and public holidays you
can shop at souvenir shops, pastry shops, Südbahnhof
and Westbahnhof train stations, and at Vienna Interna-
tional Airport.
In Vienna seasonal sales begin around the beginning
of January and the middle of July. Once again, due to
the liberalization of regulations, they no longer start at
the same time.
Full details of “shop&win” in Vienna can be found at
www.vienna.info or by calling (+43 1) 24 555.

Shopping Streets
Inner City
The entire first district, encircled by the fabulous Ring Boulevard,
where Vienna’s architectural gems are threaded one after the
­other like pearls on a chain, is a shopping paradise where every-
body will find something to his or her taste.
Kärntner Strasse
A wealth of famous fashion stores line Kärntner Strasse, which
leads from the Vienna State Opera to St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
A classic favorite is Steffl department store, offering luxury de-
signer goods and a great panoramic elevator. Along Graben and
Kohlmarkt you will find all the internationally feted designers and
brands.
Another highlight is the luxury shopping temple at Palais Kohl-
markt with big names including Dolce&Gabbana, Tiffany & Co,
Diesel and Bulgari. And just a stone’s throw away you will encoun-
ter chic creations by British luxury label Burberry. Kohlmarkt is
also the location of multibrand store “No. 7”, opened in spring
2007, whose products include creations by Kenzo, Scherrer and
Yikai. It incorporates the “shop in the shop” where Flavio Briatore
sells his luxury label Billionaire Couture, satisfying the fashion
wishes of male clientele with limitless budgets.
Yet also Rotenturmstrasse and the innumerable lanes and side
streets are home to an incredible range of boutiques and shops.
Whether classic or ultramodern, all tastes are catered for.
Mariahilfer Strasse
is the traditional shopping street of the Viennese. It starts near
the Ring Boulevard, and stretches past Westbahnhof train sta-
tion to the Technical Museum. Most of the shops are located on
the downtown side of the Gürtel (Vienna’s outer ring), where the
thoroughfare marks the border between the 6th and 7th districts.
Shops include Gerngross department store, branches of major
European clothing chains such as H&M, C&A and Peek & Clop-
penburg, and the HUMANIC shoe world. In the side streets you will
find a host of small retailers and a vast range of products. Park in
Neubaugasse is a favorite, stocking designer fashions and indi-
vidual accessories on two floors.
Landstrasse, Favoritenstrasse, Meidlinger Hauptstrasse
and Thaliastrasse
Shopping streets have evolved in the 3rd, 10th, 12th, and 16th
districts which mainly serve the local communities. They also fea-
ture a multitude of retailers, boutiques, opticians, jewelers and
clothes shops, as well as shops catering for daily needs (see also:
Markets).
Shopping Centers
Ringstrassen-Galerien
Anyone preferring the shopping center environment will also find
what they are looking for downtown. Located only 100 meters
from the State Opera House on the Ring Boulevard, Ringstrassen-
Galerien is an elegant and spaciously designed complex which is
sure to delight the sophisticated shopper (Kärntner Ring 5–7, 1st
district, www.ringstrassen-galerien.at).
Kaufhaus Steffl
This seven-floor department store embraces the latest trends, life-
styles and fashions, and boasts charming cafés with great views.
It owes its name to nearby St. Stephen’s Cathedral, which the
Viennese affectionately call “Steffl” (Kärntner Strasse 19, 1st dis-
trict, www.kaufhaus-steffl.at).
Gerngross
This department store stocks everything from fashions to chil-
dren’s toys, with various restaurants on the top floor (Mariahilfer
Strasse 38–48, 7th district).
Markets
Shopping
Almost every Vienna district has its own markets, supplying the
Viennese population with fresh fruit, vegetables, groceries and
daily products (Karmelitermarkt: Krummbaumgasse/Leopolds­
gasse/Haidgasse, 2nd district; Rochusmarkt: Landstrasser
Hauptstrasse, 3rd district; Brunnenmarkt: Brunnengasse/Yppen-
gasse, 16th district
Naschmarkt
Located on the plateau over the River Wien between Rechte und
Linke Wienzeile, this market is an absolute must for every visitor
to Vienna. Here you will find an overwhelming variety of fresh fruit
and vegetables, fish, meat and specialties from many countries,
e.g. Italy, Greece and Turkey (Wienzeile, 4th district).
Flea Market
A flea market is held next to the Naschmarkt every Saturday from
06:30–18:00. You can find pretty much everything, from valuable
antiques, furniture and bric-a-brac to curios and second-hand
clothing.
Christmas Markets
The best known Viennese Christmas market is the Christkindl-
markt with Magic of Advent held between the National Theater
(Burg­theater) and City Hall on the Ring Boulevard (www.christ-
kindlmarkt.at). Seasonal atmosphere can also be enjoyed at the
Christmas Village on Maria-Theresien-Platz between the Museums
of Natural History and Fine Arts (www.weihnachtsdorf.at).
Just a few steps further on into the city, an Advent market has es-
tablished itself on Freyung. A small, but exclusive market, it dis-
plays and sells a vast array of handmade goods and Christmas
handicrafts (www.altwiener-markt.at).
The market with probably the most beautiful backdrop is the Cul-
ture and Christmas Market directly in front of Schönbrunn Palace
(www.weihnachtsmarkt.co.at).
The Art and Christmas Market in the Spittelberg quarter is also
certainly worth a visit. Between lovingly restored suburban hous-
es from centuries past, it sometimes seems as if time has come to
a standstill. This market offers a real Christmas browsing experi-
ence (www.spittelberg.at)!
However, there are a number of other Christmas and Advent mar-
kets. Further information can be found at www.vienna.info.
Souvenirs of Vienna
St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Giant Ferris Wheel and the Lipizzan
stallions are all symbols of Vienna. An extensive selection of sou-
venirs can be found at many downtown shops as well as the sou-
venir shops in most large hotels. Hand-painted Lipizzan stallions
and porcelain vases are among the unique gifts and souvenirs sold
at Augarten Manufaktur. More than two hundred years ago, this
traditional porcelain manufacturer used to supply the Viennese
imperial court with exclusive chinaware (Stock-im-Eisen-Platz 3,
1st district, and Schloss Augarten, Obere Augartenstrasse 1, 2nd
district, www.augarten.at).
“Made in Austria” is a quality designation that applies to more
than just Augarten porcelain. Österreichische Werkstätten on
Kärntner Strasse offers a wide choice of handcrafted goods for all
tastes (www.austrianarts.com).
Backhausen, on Schwarzenbergstrasse, is a producer and sup-
plier of fine textiles for upholstered furniture, curtains, drapery
and decor goods. The range extends from modern design textiles
to classic art-nouveau patterns. A Wiener-Werkstätte shop com-
pletes the choice. There is also a Wiener-Werkstätte Museum in
the basement for those particularly interested (www.backhausen.
com).

(Graben 26, 1st district, www.schwaebische-jungfrau.at).
Many museums round out their exhibitions with attractive shops.
All kinds of products are available, from souvenirs, eye-catching
designerware, trinkets, jewelry and books to reproductions.
Shops include those at MuseumsQuartier Wien (Museumsplatz 1,
7th district, www.mqw.at), KunstHausWien (Untere Weissgerber-
strasse 13, 3rd district, www.kunsthauswien.at), MAK (Museum of
Applied Arts, Stubenring 5, 1st district, www.mak.at), the Alber-
tina (Albertinaplatz 1, 1st district, www.albertina.at), the Museum
of Fine Arts (Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1st district, www.khm.at) and
the Museum of Natural History (Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1st district,
www.nhm-wien.ac.at).
Traditional Fashions from Austria
Traditional Austrian “country wear” is always in fashion. In Vienna
you will find classic styles, patterns and textiles as well as con-
temporary forms of these costumes, adapted to today’s fashion
trends. Almost all the well-known country fashion shops are lo-
cated in the center of town, in Kärntner Strasse and its side streets
and around St. Stephen‘s Cathedral. Loden fashion, a typical form
of traditional Austrian clothing, has been finding more and more
devoted admirers at home and abroad. Names like Resi Hammer-
er (www.resihammerer.at), Tostmann (www.tostmann.at), Loden
Plankl (www.loden-plankl.at), Sportalm (www.sportalm.at) and
Kettner (www.kettnerwien.at) have long established themselves
in the international world of fashion.
Antiques
A visit to the Wiener Dorotheum, one of the leading and most tradi-
tional auction houses in Europe, is highly recommended. Whether
in the open sales department or at one of the numerous auctions,
everybody will find something to their taste – from baroque and
“fin de siècle” furniture, art and jewelry to postage stamps (Doro­
theergasse 17, 1st district, www.dorotheum.at).
Viennese Cakes, Pastries and
Confectionery
A visit to Demel confectioners, former purveyors to the Imperial
Court (Kohlmarkt 14, 1st district, www.demel.at) is a must for every
fan of genuine Viennese confectionery. Also not to be missed are
Shopping, Wining & Dining
Addresses of places to shop, from the old city to trendy districts, are
contained in this brochure, as are markets, pubs, dozens of places to eat
out, cool bars, coffee-houses and wine taverns. The former purveyors to the
imperial court also feature.

the traditional specialties at Hotel Sacher, behind the State Opera,
the home of the original Viennese Sachertorte (www.sacher.com),
and Konditorei Gerstner on Vienna’s Kärntner Strasse (www.gerst-
ner.at). Delicious Viennese cakes and pastries are also served at
branches of Konditorei Aida (www.aida.at), Kurkonditorei Oberlaa
(www.oberlaa-wien.at) and plenty of other places.
Shopping at the Airport
Vienna International Airport boasts a multitude of shops and an
enormous choice of goods. While the majority of stores are be-
yond passport and boarding card control and therefore only acces-
sible to departing and arriving travelers, there are also numerous
shops in the arrivals and departures halls and terminal buildings
open to all. Opening hours are not generally regulated and often
depend on flights, i.e. shops are usually open longer during peak
travel periods. www.viennaairport.com
Tax Free Shopping in Austria
All visitors to Austria not resident in the EU may claim a refund
of Austrian value added tax (VAT), which is included in the sales
prices of all goods bought in Austria. The purchase price of goods
per invoice must be at least € 75.01.
The procedure for VAT repayment is quite simple if you use Global
Refund checks:
At any store displaying the silver-blue Tax Free Shopping logo,
tourists can ask sales staff for a completed Global Refund check
(name and foreign address must be inserted) and for a Global Re-
fund envelope containing a list of all cash refund locations. The
original receipt must be stapled to the Global Refund check.
When leaving the EU, tourists must show the goods to the cus-
toms official and get their Global Refund check stamped with the
customs stamp. No refund is possible without the customs stamp.
Guests can cash their refund at any of over 700 tax refund loca-
tions worldwide e.g. at airports, back in their home country (see
also Global Refund envelope) or apply for bank giro transfer by
sending the Global Refund check to Global Refund direct.
At Vienna International Airport the Global Refund payment booths
can be found in the shopping zone and at baggage reclaim in the
arrivals hall.
After deduction of the handling expenses by Global Refund, the
average sum refunded will amount to approx. 13% of the pur-
chase price.

The difference between hotels and pensions is primarily that the latter concentrate on the basics: bed and breakfast. These are nor-
mally smaller establishments in blocks of flats and offices.
Seasonal hotels are students’ hostels which are run as hotels during the summer months (1.7.–30.9.).

Hotel Guide
The Hotel Guide helps guests with their accommodation search, giving details of
more than 300 hotels, pensions and apartments in Vienna, including prices and
photos. From deluxe hotels to low-budget hostels, there is something to suit
everybody’s requirements.

Live Life, Enjoy Creativity 2009
Vienna is not only a firm favorite with bon viveurs.
Vienna is a vibrant way of life, where history meets
modernism, design meets tradition. Its attractions
include outstanding exhibitions, art fairs, museum
treasures, great classical and contemporary music,
vogue pubs and top shops, not to mention the
highlight of the year for soccer fans – the European
Soccer Championship, with the final taking place in
Vienna on June 29, 2008.
This theme is being taken up by the Künstlerhaus in its
major interactive soccer exhibition herz:rasen and by
the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Fine Arts),
which will be presenting its masterpieces from a
sporting perspective. After the European
Championship it is being followed by a Giuseppe
Arcimboldo show, while Egyptian King Tutankhamun
is set to be a crowd-puller at the Ethnological Museum.
The Albertina is showing its Monet to Picasso and
Max Ernst exhibitions until April 2008; afterwards it is
the turn of shows devoted to Paul Klee and Vincent
van Gogh.
The MuseumsQuartier, bordering on the historic center
of Vienna, is home to a number of institutions
including the Museum of Modern Art (MUMOK), the
Kunsthalle and the Leopold Museum – famed for its
eminent collection of Schieles – which is mounting an
Albin Egger-Lienz exhibition. The colorful cafés,
restaurants and designer stores at the MQ create an
ideal blend of the good life and the pleasures of art in
this urban oasis.
Attractions at the Belvedere include a Kokoschka
show which is to be followed in October by the
exhibition entitled Gustav Klimt and the Kunstschau
1908. Paths of Abstract Painting and Georges Braque
will be on view at the BA-CA Kunstforum.
The Wien Museum Karlsplatz is highlighting Vienna’s
railroad stations and inns, as well as its own location,
Karlsplatz, which is celebrating its 2000th anniversary.
Designed by Hundertwasser, the Kunsthaus provides
an insight into the work of this fascinating artist and
creator of uneven floors and walls. Meanwhile the
princely Liechtenstein Museum - open Friday to
Tuesday from March onwards - gives visitors the
opportunity to experience the baroque.
The great Queen musical We Will Rock You is
showing at the Raimund Theater and will be followed
again by Rebecca in September.
Numerous concerts and festivals throughout the year
are sure to delight music lovers – from the OsterKlang
(Sound of Easter) festival, the Spring Festival, the
Vienna Festival, the Vienna Jazz Festival and the 2nd
Vienna Piano Summer through to “Operimsommer
’08” at the all-year opera house Theater an der Wien,
“Die Fledermaus” at Schönbrunn Palace Theater and
an open-air operetta revue at Theresianum.
The world-famous Vienna State Opera stages some
300 performances every year while the Volksoper
offers opera and operetta as well as musical and
dance. An ideal place to follow in Mozart’s footsteps
is the Mozarthaus Vienna where one of the maestro’s
apartments is preserved. And an ever-popular
multimedia theme world is the House of Music.
The Music Film Festival provides an ideal mix of joie
de vivre and art on City Hall Square, showing opera,
operetta and orchestral recordings on a giant screen
surrounded by a world of epicurean treats. The square
is also the scene of the romantic Magic of Advent
market in the run-up to Christmas and the “Ice
Dream” ice-skating rink in the New Year. Dinner at a
museum or on a Danube cruise combines the pleasures
of the palate with those of the arts. For the ultimate
dining experience there are the Imperial Dinner Train,
the Palazzo gourmet theater, shows at Vienna wine
taverns and a cooking workshop.
Next year’s mega sporting event, the European Soccer
Championship, is only one reason for sports
enthusiasts to head to Vienna. The city also hosts the
annual Vienna City Marathon with scores of
sightseeing attractions lining the 42 kilometer route.
During the ball season it is time to swap sportswear
for evening dress. Vienna’s balls exude a very special
imperial flair and are a pleasure to all. And a waltzing
class could be just the ideal preparation.
Vienna looks forward to welcoming you!

We Will Rock You

This blockbuster Queen musical is coming to

Maurier. Shortly after the book was published, master
of suspense Alfred Hitchcock directed the film

Sylvester Levay have now also taken the storyline as
inspiration for their musical. The stage work

follows the chronological development of architecture
in Austria during the last 150 years. A focus of the
center’s work is “residential architecture”, a theme
close to the heart of many Austrian architects and
visitors. The exhibition makes good use of new media
to present architecture. Plans, sketches, texts, photos,
models and film are used to bring the 20th century to

“Sissi in the Movies” –
Furniture of an Empress
Permanent Attraction
The Sisi films starring Romy Schneider had a
lasting influence on both 1950s film and the image
of Empress Elisabeth, who became a cult figure.
These cinema hits are now 50 years old, and to
celebrate the Imperial Furniture Collection is
mounting a permanent exhibition looking behind
the scenes of the film productions. Most of the
indoor scenes of the Sisi films were shot by director
Ernst Marischka in the Rosenhügel studios using
genuine Imperial furniture to lend them authenticity.
Film clips, props, photographs and posters spread out
along a Sisi path through the museum contrast the film
Sissi with her historical model.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo
February 12 – June 1, 2008
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Fine
Arts) is devoting a sumptuous exhibition to
Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 - 1593). The Italian late
Renaissance painter particularly associated with the
Mannerist tradition served the Habsburg emperors as
imperial court painter between 1562 and 1587. The
principle common to all his paintings is unique:
Arcimboldo composed his subjects out of plants, fruit,
animals and also inanimate objects such as books. His
cycles of the four seasons, the four elements and his
portraits are good illustration of the exceptional way
the artist combined nature, science and art in the 16th
century.

herz:rasen – The Soccer Viennafair 2008

Exhibition Contemporary Art Fair
April 4 – July 6, 2008 April 24 – 27, 2008

The whole of Europe is going to be consumed with
soccer in the run-up to and during UEFA EURO
2008 (June 7–29, 2008). In excited anticipation of
the European Championship, an interactive soccer
exhibition called herz:rasen is being mounted. On
2,000 sq.m. the Künstlerhaus Wien will be bringing to
life the thrill, heat and euphoria surrounding the
phenomenon of soccer. The show places a particular
focus on European football of the last 20 years, telling
of players, fans, heroes, soccer venues, techniques –
used on the field, in training and also in media stage-
management – and, last but not least, the transition of
soccer to become an all-pervading cultural
phenomenon. The world of soccer is captured in
image material and film footage taken from historical
and contemporary media, embracing everything from
objects used in matches to living room curiosities.
The interactive approach allows both soccer fans and
those exploring the sport for the first time to
experience at first hand the realm of soccer and get
inside the thrill of the sport.

Karlsplatz – 2000 Years Of
Urban History
May 29 – October 26, 2008
Two thousand years of Viennese urban history
come to life in this exhibition exploring one of
Vienna’s historical intersections – Karlsplatz. It lies
in Resselpark, which was laid out by today’s Technical
University on the banks of the river Wien in front of
the baroque Karlskirche church built by Fischer von
Erlach. When Karlsplatz was redeveloped in the 1970s,
the roads north of the two Otto Wagner Stadtbahn
railway pavilions were amalgamated, and a new oval
pool with a sculpture by British sculptor Henry Moore
added. At the beginning of 2006 Resselpark was
sensitively redesigned as “Kunstplatz Karlsplatz” –
from which you also reach the main entrance of the
Vienna Museum Karlsplatz.

Christian Schad
September 26, 2008 – January 6, 2009
The Leopold Museum is devoting an exhibition to
German painter Christian Schad. Associated like
Otto Dix with the Neue Sachlichkeit (New
Objectivity) movement, the artist is best known for
his Self Portrait with Model. Cold and distant in
effect, his paintings set out to render subjects
objectively. In his early works, Schad was influenced
by Cubism and Dadaism, with which he became
acquainted during travels in France. Remaining fond of
experimenting until well advanced in years, the artist
also produced prints using various techniques as well
as the “Schadographs” named specially for him –
photograms in which the photographic paper is directly
exposed without using a camera.

Georges Braque. The Lyrical
Essence of Geometry – A
Retrospective
November 14, 2008 – March 1, 2009
The BA-CA Kunstforum is mounting a large-scale
retrospective on Georges Braque, which – for the
first time in Austria – pays homage to this
forerunner of the avant-garde. The uniqueness of his
pictorial exploits is visualized: Braque in the circle of
the Fauves, Braque the methodical, Braque the inventor
of papier collé, Braque the master of “modern” still life
and, last but not least, Braque the “lyrical constructor”.
Exhibition space is also allocated to do justice to his
groundbreaking cubist works. Yet there is more to
Braque than Cubism and painting. The show also
focuses on Georges Braque’s virtuosity as a graphic
artist.

Die Fledermaus at
Schlosstheater Schönbrunn
July 11 – August 24, 2008
A production of Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus
is being staged by Musik Theater Schönbrunn in
the summer of 2008. Die Fledermaus is rightly
considered a masterpiece of Viennese operetta. A
veritable feast of melodies leads through the racy plot
as a Viennese playboy is sentenced to a few days in
jail and sadly takes his leave from his wife. But
instead of reporting to the prison, he heads off to an
exotic prince’s masked ball where he charms his own
masked wife whose lover has earlier been sent to
prison. With the help of the prison warder Frosch,
everything works out for the best. The Schönbrunn
Palace Theatre is the oldest theater still operating in

Concerts
Mozart Requiem at
Karlskirche
April 5 – October 25, 2008, every Sat (also every Thu
in July, August & September)

The Requiem Mass (K626) was Mozart’s final

work. The completed version by Franz Xaver
Süssmayr can be heard at Vienna's Karlskirche
(Church of St. Charles Borromeo) – a striking
example of ecclesiastical baroque architecture with
a mighty dome. The performers are the Chorus and
Orchestra of Salzburger Konzertgesellschaft.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote this requiem in
1791, yet it remained a fragment. It embraces the
phases of rebellion, fear, hope and release that Mozart
experienced before he passed away – without bringing
the work to completion.

Dinner & Crime
Permanent Attraction
“Dinner & Crime” is an evening of murder and
mystery where anything can happen. The scenario:
100 diplomats from around the globe are
celebrating Small Britain’s tenth anniversary of
independence. In the course of a delectable dinner the
guests at the celebration make charming conversation
and toast the virtues of the young country. Yet sinister
goings-on lurk behind the glitzy facade.
Inconsistencies and untruths gradually emerge. Not
only does the atmosphere become electric, but a person
suddenly falls dead. The guests reconstruct the events
leading up to the death either in groups or individually.
If they prefer, they can slip into actors’ shoes, yet they
still have to be prepared for a whodunit surprise or
two.

harvest - and when it is on sale the “bush” (a pine
spring) is hung up over the entrance. The Dr. Müller-
Schmidt winery also offers a number of activities
related to wine. Among other things there are tastings,
sumptuous “vintner’s buffets” and vineyard tours.
