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 across Vienna by showing you what you definitely should not miss in the first district – even as a local!
In the House of Music in Seilerstätte, you can embark on the trails of great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, and others every day. Alongside historical facts, countless interactive opportunities 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 tip 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 in Roman times, an audience with Emperor Franz Joseph, or a meeting with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – anything is possible! Not only small children have fun here, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice, located not far from the Hofburg, is literally a palace. The historically significant building actually has a lot to offer. The first wow effect usually occurs when you stand in front of it. But certainly, when you enter the magnificent entrance hall and encounter the stern eyes of Justitia. And even if you have no interest in architecture, there is 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 will find 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 transported to a place out of 1,001 Nights. A friendly atmosphere and good cocktails – the perfect conditions to unwind after a demanding workweek. So: Have you developed a taste for it? Good, because next time we will go treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
