Austria · MOZART NIGHTS & MUSEUMS
28 reviewed
Mozart lived in a dozen Vienna addresses and one Salzburg house, and both cities have built an evening around him. The Mozart concerts and museum tickets that hold up, strongest at the top: period-costume ensembles, the Mozarthaus rooms, the Mirabell Palace programme in Salzburg, and the dinner-plus-concert versions. Prices, the hours involved, and which of them survive a child’s attention span, are all noted.

Mozart dinner and concert at Fortress Hohensalzburg with a funicular ride, set menus, and views over Salzburg, plus VIP drink upgrades.
“The meal was delicious; the concert was spectacular. These two facts superceded the fact that both the restaurant and concert hall were dreadfully hot. Also, the online description of this tour made it seem as though the dinner and concert were at the same location. The signage outside of the restaurant could have been more specific in stating “Mozart Concert Dinner”. It simply said “Dinner”…which outside of a restaurant makes sense, but that didn’t suggest it was dinner for those attending the concert. So we walked to the concert location, only to have to walk back to the restaurant. I would suggest you indicate the events, though at the fortress…”
