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 through all of Vienna by showing you what you absolutely shouldn't miss in the first district – even as a local!
At the House of Music in Seilerstätte, you can follow in 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 transform your name into a historical composition? No problem! Especially now, when it is getting uncomfortable outside again, it's a clear recommendation for a weekend outing!
In the 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 benefit from this experience, but also adults.
The Vienna Palace of Justice, not far from the Hofburg, is 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 lavish 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 dreamy view over the rooftops of Vienna. Or a beer.
In Dorotheergasse, just a few steps 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 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 good cocktails – the perfect conditions to relax after a busy workweek. So: Are you intrigued? Good, because next time we’re going treasure hunting in the 9th district of Vienna!
