Culture on a budget

The building on the University Ring was built according to the plans of Gottfried Semper and Karl von Hasenauer. It is one of the top addresses in German-speaking theatre. The Burgtheater is traditional and modern at the same time. Daily tours provide a look behind the scenes.

After a Corona-related break, there is good news for culture fans: on May 19, the State Opera was allowed to open its doors again! With appropriate safety measures, six premieres can take place in front of an audience in the coming weeks (until the end of the season on June 30)! From "Carmen" and "Faust" to "Macbeth" and "Der Barbier für Kinder" (The Barber for Children) - there's plenty to marvel at and listen to.

Vienna's MAK is situated on Stubernring - near the City Park and the architect Heinrich von Ferstel. The Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) is located within the building - here there are alwayds new exhibitions to visit. Inside the collection spans from the Middle Ages until today and houses valuable treasures, like Art Noueau porcelain, Thonet chairs, Biedermeier sofas and also contemporary art.
