11 reviewed
These are the 11 mozarthaus & music museums we would put in front of a friend on their first Vienna trip, each with its price, its verdict, and the one thing worth knowing before you book.
Explore Mozart’s preserved Vienna apartment with an audio guide for adults and kids, plus optional Haus der Musik combo ticket.
“Loved being in the same building that Mozart lived! Very Cool!! The self guided part was nice so everybody could tour at their own pace. I would recommend headphones to plug into the guided module so your hands are free.”
Walk through Haus des Meeres in Vienna, a WWII anti-aircraft tower zoo with 11 floors, an Atlantic tunnel, and a rooftop terrace.
“Although I could only allocate 1.5 hours for the visit, because of the 2.5 hours initially allocated, 1 hour I ate at the restaurant with a terrace on the 11th floor, I managed, rather quickly, to go through the entire museum, which has 10 floors that can be visited. The museum presents fish and other marine animals (seahorses, stingrays, turtles, sharks, giant crabs, a shameless lobster, snakes) from various corners of the world in aquariums from small to huge. The collections of corals, insects and monkeys were also fascinating, some of which do not exceed 20cm in height. I recommend starting the visit starting from the 10th floor, from top…”
Haus der Musik tickets in Vienna put music history, sound science, and interactive challenges in one modern museum near the Philharmonic.
“As an expressive arts teacher I absolutely loved this museum - I wish we had something like this in Dundee! The interactive exhibits were superb and the museum has lots to offer adults as well as children. There were some local children at the museum with their teacher on the day of my visit and p,entry of enjoyable activities for them to participate in. The museum has 4 floors, each with a different musical focus, from famous Austrian composers through the ages, an interactive activity conducting a Viennese orchestra, the science behind sound and musical instruments, and many other exhibits. I spent over 4 hours in the museum and didn’t…”
Mozart’s last Vienna residence plus a candlelit chamber concert in the Mozarthaus cellar with reserved seating by the Wiener Ensemble.
“What a better way to cap off your tour of Mozart’s main residence than a celebration of music? The set was thoughtfully put together by talented musicians. Held in an intimate setting in the buildings basement you’ll be treated to an unforgettable experience. Wonderful performance. In mu opinion this is not to be missed.”
Chamber music at Vienna’s Sala Terrena. Mozart and more performed in period-style costumes in a tiny hall with coat check and program.
“Great small venue. the performers were outstanding. Beautiful setting . Outstanding , most enjoyable.”
A 60-minute Vienna string quartet concert at Haus der Musik. Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss in an intimate State Opera setting.
“A great experience, the musicians from the quartet were very professional, the parts choosed to be played were great. Highly recommended!”
Vienna House of Music ticket for the interactive sound museum, Vienna Philharmonic archives, VR Sound Lab, and a virtual conductor experience.
“I momenti interattivi di costruzione della musica e di capire come gli animali o il feto sente i rumori e la musica”
An intimate chamber concert inside Mozart’s Vienna home, with museum entry and short talks before each piece. Book ahead.
“Music was performed beautifully! Museum was very interesting! Small venue- intimate. Very enjoyable!”
Visit Mozarthaus Vienna in Mozart’s former apartment and exhibitions on his Vienna years, with an English audio guide. Tickets from $19.
“It's worthwhile if you are a mozart fan. Mozart's house is near St. Stephen's church and getting to it is breathtaking. There is also the house Mozart died nearby that is worthwhile as well.”
A one-hour Vienna classical concert at Haus der Musik featuring a professional string quartet playing Mozart, Strauss, and more.
“Fantastic with great nights lovely staff very cooperative Place is warm with safety boxes to keep your belongings”
A 90-minute Vienna piano trio concert at Mozart’s historic home, in a small, old hall. Seats are close, music is top-tier, and the value is strong.
“It was a pleasant experience. The concert took place in a very small yet beautiful hall which made it less touristy than many other similar offerings in the city. It was special to have this experience in the same place where Mozart himself performed and lived for a short period of time.”
