A warm hello from the first district! The inner city is not only a tourist hotspot but also the seat of AKKADIA. So from us. We would like to start our district tour around Vienna by showing you what you definitely shouldn't miss in the first district – even as a local!
In the House of Music in Seilerstätte, you can immerse yourself daily in the footsteps of great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and others. In addition to historical facts, countless interactive opportunities are also offered. Conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as a virtual conductor or turn your own name into a historical composition? No problem! Especially now, when it is becoming uncomfortable outside again, it's a clear recommendation for a weekend outing!
In autumn, when the tourist crowds slowly but surely thin out, you should consider paying a visit to Time Travel Vienna. There, you embark on a journey through Vienna's history: whether it's Vienna during Roman times, an audience with Emperor Franz Joseph, or a meeting with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – everything is possible! Not only little children will find enjoyment here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice, not far from the Hofburg, is literally a palace. The historic building has a lot to offer. The first wow effect usually occurs when you stand in front of it. But definitely when you enter the sumptuous entrance hall and meet the stern eyes of Justitia. And if you are not interested in architecture, there is still the option to get a coffee in the Justice Café on the 6th floor and enjoy the dreamlike view over the rooftops of Vienna. Or a beer.
In Dorotheergasse, just a few steps from St. Stephen's Cathedral, you'll find Blue Mustard. This bar is a must-visit for cocktail lovers and interior design enthusiasts. With its lighting concept featuring countless light bulbs, you’ll feel almost transported to a place from 1,001 Nights. A friendly atmosphere and good cocktails – the perfect conditions to unwind after a tough work week. So, are you intrigued? Great, because next time we’re going treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
