These are the 15 workshops 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.
Temper chocolate bars and sip Aztec-style Xocolatl at BO-YO Chocolate Museum in Vienna, with museum entry included.
“It was so much fun learning about cocoa and making our own chocolate bars and hot chocolate! Learning all the history of the how/when/why chocolate all began was a lot of fun as well! Definitely would recommend this experience!”
Small-group Vienna cooking class at Nabiel’s home: crispy schnitzel, apple strudel, and drinks in about 3 hours.
“What a great experience. The highlight of our trip ! Highly recommend . Chef was hilarious and friendly and the food was great”
Learn the iconic Viennese Waltz in a Vienna ballroom. 50-minute beginner workshop for couples with certified instructor Aga Bohun.
“The Viennese Walz workshop was excellent. As a beginner the steps were demonstrated and broken down and as we practiced the steps the dance became easier. The workshop was fun and also a little workout!”
Make 24 Mozartkugeln in Vienna with milk/white/dark coating and Maria Antonietta orange hot chocolate, taught in English. 90 minutes.
“It was fun, loved making the Kugels, and love the box. And of course trying one. The time flew.”
Hands-on Vienna cooking class for Wiener Schnitzel and Apple Strudel in a cozy kitchen with Chef Nabiel, plus wine or beer.
“This cooking class was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Nebeil was an amazing host who truly took care of us from start to finish. He had us laughing the entire time while still making the class incredibly informative and easy to follow. And fair warning: come ready to drink, because Nebeil will not allow anything else! The drinks were flowing, the vibes were great, and it honestly felt like cooking with a friend rather than attending a class.”
Viennese Waltz workshop in an elegant Vienna ballroom. 50-minute beginner lesson in English with etiquette, Strauss music, and photos.
“A unique life lesson. For someone with two left feet like me the instructor was both patient and fun. Just 3 couples in our class. Great prep if you're going to a ball. Wonderful intimacy with your partner. Boosted my confidence.”
Cook Viennese schnitzel and apple strudel with a local chef in a cozy city-center apartment, then eat your own 2–3 course meal.
“This cooking class was an absolute highlight of our time in Vienna! Our kids had the best time and were fully engaged the entire experience. Everything we made was delicious, we happily went back for seconds of every dish and thirds of the strudel (it was that good!). The instructor was wonderful with our family and made the class both educational and fun. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for a memorable, hands-on experience.”
DIY Swarovski workshop in Vienna: make a crystal luggage tag with expert help, tour the store, and take home an exclusive gift in 45 minutes.
“Everyone was extremely helpful and informative. We were looked after well and enjoyed learning about Swarovski. We had a glass of champagne while we decorated our luggage tags. My daughter and I would recommend this if you are travelling to Vienna and like sparkles!”
Home cooking class in Vienna: crispy schnitzel, Old Viennese potato soup, and apple strudel in an authentic apartment.
“I had not cooked in awhile. Nina made us so comfortable. She was organized and walked us through each dish. After we completed the cooking we all sat down to eat. The family recipes were delicious. I highly recommend this class.”
Vienna soy candle-making workshop: blend essential oils, pour your own candle, snack with wine or tea, and take it home in 2 hours.
“An amazing workshop and such a lovely atmosphere! The hosts were wonderful — so welcoming and knowledgeable. It was absolutely worth the visit and the price. Now I have a beautiful, personalized candle that smells incredible and doesn’t give me a headache — which is rare since I’m very sensitive to scents. Truly a delightful experience!”
Make 24 Mozartkugel and orange hot chocolate in Vienna at BO-YO Chocolate Museum. Small English workshop, take-home sweets included.
“Very fun experience, helps you to live in the moment, helps you appreciate the chocolate making procedure…. And you end up with many chocolates to enjoy!!!! Our instructor was very passionate and very pleasant to work with ( Jenaiya if I am spelling it correctly)”
One-hour Viennese kaiserschmarrn cooking class at a historic restaurant. Learn tricks, taste fresh dessert with coffee, take home recipe.
“We enjoyed it. There were 12 folks in our group, and the kitchen was a bit small for us all, but overall it was a friendly and funny experience.”
Learn Viennese Waltz in a private one-hour workshop in Vienna. Certified instructor, 45-minute lesson, easy pace for groups.
“The dance instructor was the “real deal”! She taught us easily even though we had no experience and we leaned and had a blast! I was with my husband and young adult children. Highly recommend!”
A private 3-hour Vienna street or night photo lesson with expert guidance. Learn settings, composition, and camera tips at top landmarks.
“I did the night shoot 8-11 pm. Our guide Reegan had excellent knowledge of photography and the city of Vienna. He taught me many different camera settings that I don’t normally use. I would recommend this company for any photography needs. They take you to many interesting places. My only feedback would be to change the meeting place to somewhere with more light. They did have a detailed map and meeting place but I could not find the statue.”
One-hour Viennese waltz workshop with festive New Year traditions, ballroom etiquette, and guided practice in a spacious private hall.
“The waltz lesson instructor was very poised and clear with their directions. She answered our questions with patience and demonstrated each step with precision and grace. The school and dance floor is elegant and spacious. We would be delighted to take her class again next time we are in Vienna!”
