New Year with a difference
Share
The Viennese know how to celebrate. On New Year’s Eve the old city transforms into a gigantic party zone with big screens and stages, live music and DJ’s, food stalls and buzzing cafés and bars.
Meanwhile it’s all white tie and tails and sweeping ball gowns for the Imperial Ball at the glittering Hofburg Palace; waltzes, banquets and gala dinners at the City Hall and Palais Ferstel; and countless dinner-dances in smart hotels.
Start another year with a ‘hangover breakfast’ on City Hall Square while watching the Vienna Philharmonic’s famous New Year’s Day Concert transmitted live via a big screen.
Many bars, inns and cafés open their doors at 7am for those revellers who haven’t yet made it home, and brunch is served in hotspot locations. And as this is the city of music, there’s an unimaginable choice of events from opera and classics to jazz, folk and rock.
Austria’s capital city is special at any time of the year, but there’s a definite magic about the winter holiday season.
