A warm hello from the first district! The inner city is not only a tourist hotspot but also the home of AKKADIA. So from us. We would like to start our district tour throughout Vienna by showing you what you absolutely should not miss in the first district - even as a local!
At the House of Music in the Seilerstätte, you can trace the footsteps of great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and others every day. In addition to historical facts, countless interactive opportunities are offered. Conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as a virtual conductor or turn your own name into a historic composition? No problem! Especially now, when it is getting uncomfortable outside again, it's a clear recommendation for a weekend trip!
In autumn, when the tourist crowds gradually but surely thin out, you should consider paying a visit to Time Travel Vienna. There, you embark on a journey through Viennese 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 small children will enjoy themselves here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice near the Hofburg is a palace in the truest sense of the word. The historic building actually has a lot to offer. The first wow effect usually hits you when you stand in front of it. But at the latest, when you enter the magnificent entrance hall and meet the stern eyes of Justice. And if you have no interest in architecture, there’s still the option to grab a coffee at the Justice Café on the 6th floor and enjoy the stunning view over the rooftops of Vienna. Or a beer.
In Dorotheergasse, just a few steps away from St. Stephen's Cathedral, you'll find Blue Mustard. This bar is an absolute must for cocktail lovers and interior design enthusiasts. The lighting concept with countless light bulbs makes you feel almost as if you've stepped into 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? Good, because next time we’re going treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
