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 throughout Vienna by showing you what you definitely should not miss in the first district – even as a local!
In the House of Music at Seilerstätte, you can trace the footsteps of great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and others daily. In addition to historical facts, countless interactive options are also offered. Conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as a virtual conductor or transform your own name into a historical composition? No problem! Especially now, as it becomes 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 visiting 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 – anything is possible! Not only small children benefit here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice near the Hofburg is literally a palace. The historical building actually has a lot to offer. The first wow factor usually comes when you stand in front of it. But at the latest, when you enter the magnificent foyer and meet the stern gaze of Justitia. And if you can’t appreciate architecture, there’s still the option of getting a coffee at the Justice Café on the 6th floor and enjoying the dreamy view over the roofs of Vienna. Or a beer.
In Dorotheergasse, just a few steps from St. Stephen's Cathedral, is Blue Mustard. This bar is a must-visit for cocktail lovers and interior design enthusiasts. The lighting concept with countless light bulbs makes you feel almost as if you’ve been transported to a place from 1,001 Nights. A friendly atmosphere and good cocktails – the perfect conditions to unwind after a demanding work week. So: Are you intrigued? Good, because next time we are going treasure hunting in the 9th Viennese district!
