A warm hello from the first district! The inner city is not only a tourist hotspot, but also the home of AKKADIA. So, us. We would like to begin our district tour through Vienna by showing you what you definitely should not miss in the first district – even as a local!
At 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 options are available. Conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as a virtual conductor or turn your own name into a historical composition? No problem! Especially now, when it’s getting uncomfortable outside again, it's a clear recommendation for a weekend outing!
In autumn, when the crowds of tourists 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 – anything is possible! Not only small children will enjoy themselves here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice, not far from the Hofburg, is, quite literally, a palace. The historically significant building actually has a lot to offer. The first wow effect usually happens when you stand in front of it. But definitely, when you enter the magnificent entrance hall and meet the stern eyes of Justitia. And if you can't appreciate architecture, there's still the option to grab a coffee at the Justice Café on the 6th floor and enjoy the breathtaking view over the rooftops of Vienna. Or a beer.
In Dorotheergasse, just a few steps away from St. Stephen's Cathedral, is 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 been transported to a place from 1,001 Nights. A friendly atmosphere and great cocktails – the perfect conditions to wind down after a long work week. So: Have you developed a taste for it? Good, because next time we will go treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
