A warm hello from the first district! The inner city is not only a tourist hotspot but also the seat of AKKADIA. That is, us. We would like to begin our district tour through Vienna by showing you what you absolutely shouldn’t miss in the first district – even as a local!
In the House of Music on Seilerstätte, you can embark daily on the trails of great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and others. In addition to historical facts, countless interactive opportunities are offered. Conduct the Vienna Philharmonic as a virtual conductor or transform your own name into a historic composition? No problem! Especially now, as it becomes uncomfortable outside again, this is a clear tip for a weekend outing!
In autumn, when the tourist crowds slowly but surely begin to 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 small children will find enjoyment here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice near the Hofburg is a palace in the truest sense of the word. The historically significant 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 Justitia. And if you are not interested in architecture, there is 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, you'll find Blue Mustard. This bar is a must-visit for cocktail lovers and interior design enthusiasts. The lighting design with countless light bulbs makes you almost feel like you’re 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're going treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
