A 3-hour Strauss dinner show in Vienna with live orchestra, dance, and an included set menu at the Mirage near the Prater.
“We attended the Strauss Dinner Show and had mixed feelings about the experience. On the positive side, the food was absolutely delicious, and the entertainment was top-notch—truly talented performers that made the evening special. However, the venue left a lot to be desired. It was raining the night we went, and despite being required to check our coats, we were still getting dripped on from various spots in the room.

Learn the iconic Viennese Waltz in a Vienna ballroom. 50-minute beginner workshop for couples with certified instructor Aga Bohun.

A full-day Sound of Movies trip from Vienna to Salzburg with film-location stops, photo breaks, and a guided walk through Trapp-and-Mozart sights.
“Even we visited all of the places as it was indicated, and overall the attraction was fabulous! However, I the guide’s english was not great (hard to understand) and we stopped for a while because the driver had to pay a fine not worth the wait. We got back really late at 9:34pm to vienna state opera, we were worried about our own safety (being two small girls) on getting back to hotel thatt late (not recommend to take taxi in an new place if you are girls only-where the guide recommend to take taxi because is quicker)!”
Vienna’s Austrian dinner show at the Wiener Rathauskeller pairs a 3-course meal with operetta-style dancing and music in German.
