The experience

The concert happens in the Orangery at Schönbrunn Palace, the same room where Mozart himself played nearly 240 years ago. The Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra performs a curated program of Mozart and Strauss, with dance and vocal performances woven through. Depending on the date you book, the concert starts between 3:00 PM and 8:30 PM. The market stays open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, so you can browse before or after the music.

After the concert, you move into the Christmas market at Schönbrunn with a culinary voucher in hand. The voucher gets you a mug, a hot drink and a dish at any gastronomic stand: enough to warm up and eat without deciding what to order. The market runs through early January, so the setup and vendors stay consistent across the season.

Wheelchair access is available throughout the palace and market grounds, and public transportation stops nearby if you're coming from central Vienna. If you book a VIP ticket, you get priority entry to the concert hall, two free drinks at the bar, a program and free cloakroom access: otherwise the cloakroom is €1 and a program costs €10 if you want one.

Top questions

What music does the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra actually play at the concert?

The orchestra performs Mozart and Strauss, the core of the Orangery program, with dance and vocal performances added throughout the evening.

Can I visit the Christmas market if I don't go to the concert?

Yes, the market is open to the public from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily through early January. The concert ticket and market access are separate, though this package bundles them together with the food voucher.

What exactly does the culinary voucher cover at the market?

The voucher includes one mug, one hot drink and one dish, redeemable at any food stand in the market: enough for a meal and something to carry the warmth home in.

What time should I arrive if I want to see the market before the concert?

The market opens at 10:00 AM and the concert typically starts at 8:30 PM, giving you most of the day to explore. On December 24 the concert moves to 3:00 PM, and on New Year's Eve it starts at 7:00 PM, so check your specific date.

Is the Orangery accessible if I use a wheelchair?

Yes, all areas and surfaces at Schönbrunn Palace are wheelchair accessible, including the Orangery concert hall and the market grounds. Public transportation to the palace is also wheelchair accessible.
