Compact and easily explored on foot
Former capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Vienna has been at the centre of European affairs for many years. Famous residents include Freud, as well as countless composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler and Bruckner all lived and worked here. Today Vienna is an attractive tourist destination all year round and is full of things to see. The old city ‘Innere Stadt’, surrounded by the elegant ‘Ringstrasse’, is relatively compact and easily explored on foot. St Stephen’s cathedral, at its heart, dominates the skyline.

Concerts
In Vienna itself, groups can give concerts in the magnificent cathedral of St Stephens, where both lunchtime recitals and participation in Mass are possibilities.
Prestigious churches, such as the Baroque Karlskirche, can be hired for a fee for a high profile concert. Outside the city, there are some beautiful spa towns which provide our groups with churches, bandstands and spa halls in which to perform. These concerts are attended regularly by highly appreciative audiences and help give our groups a truly memorable, as well as personal experience.
