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 start our district tour around Vienna by showing you what you absolutely should not miss in the first district – even as a local!
In the House of Music at Seilerstätte, you can daily follow the trails 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 transform your name into a historical composition? No problem! Especially now, as it gets uncomfortable outside again, it’s a clear tip for a weekend outing!
In the 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 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 little children have fun here, but also adults.
The Vienna Justice Palace, not far from the Hofburg, is literally a palace. The historic building actually has a lot to offer. The first wow effect usually occurs when you stand in front of it. But at the latest, when you enter the sumptuous entrance hall and meet the stern eyes of Justice. And if you don't care for architecture, there's still the option to grab a coffee in 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, is Blue Mustard. This bar is a must for cocktail lovers and interior design enthusiasts. With its lighting concept featuring countless light bulbs, you almost feel transported to a place from 1,001 Nights. A friendly atmosphere and good cocktails – the perfect conditions to wind down after a tough 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!
