Vienna’s Naschmarkt

“The Third Man”

In the footsteps of the great movie classic shot in Vienna in 1947. You become immersed in the atmosphere of the movie at the original locations in the inner city and deep down in the Vienna “underworld” - the sewers made famous by the great Harry Lime chase.

Dance of the stallions

Lipizzaner equestrianism to perfection - a visit to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna’s Imperial Palace, one of the oldest riding schools in the world! At a special private performance your clients get a unique look behind the scenes: the riders will tell them all about the training, their morning work sessions, the breeding and care of these world-famous stallions. This visit can be combined with an exclusive cocktail reception or dinner in the Baroque setting of the representational salons.

The home of music

An exclusive guided tour of one of the world’s leading opera houses, the magnificent Vienna State Opera, including a glimpse behind the world-famous backdrops. This tour can be perfectly rounded out with a cocktail or coffee and cakes in the opera house itself or in the bel étage of the neighbouring Palais Todesco.
An exclusive tour of the House of Music, a place where your ears will pop out of your head can also be organized! A musical journey through Vienna’s matchless museum of sound – where visitors can even virtually conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra! The tour can be combined with lunch or a reception in the loft restaurant of the museum with a view over the old city.

Animalistic delights

Schönbrunn Zoo is the oldest zoo in the world, and at the same time one of the most attractive and modern zoological gardens! After the zoo has closed for the day, it is possible to rent various original locations at the zoo for exclusive events. These range from the Imperial Pavilion, the Aqua-Terrarium house and the elephant house to the big cats house, the Tirolean house, the hayloft and the ORANG.erie (with a view of the orang-outan enclosure). It is also possible to combine an event in the grounds of the zoo with various special guided tours (themes, dusk, evening, backstage and historic tours).

Traditional handicrafts

Many of Vienna’s handicraft institutions arrange exclusive tours or visits, including Augarten Vienna, one of the world’s oldest porcelain manufactories, followed by coffee and cakes in the foyer of the palace - served on Augarten porcelain, of course!

Shopping in Vienna

It is well worth exploring Vienna’s many pedestrian precincts and shopping streets: from the elegant flagship stores of international designers in the inner city to independent labels and cool avant-garde shops in the trendy Freihaus district and around Neubaugasse.
