Balls in Vienna • Vienna, Austria

Balls in Vienna

The city of Vienna celebrates the carnival during the months of January and February. This time of the year is also called a ball season, while the city of waltz dresses up into a gala attire. Every year it hosts more than 450 balls.

Even attendees that are not fully familiar with the three-four rhythm and ballroom dances will surely be able to find their kind of music. Traditions of an opening by the debutants in the white dresses, the first waltz to the song the Blue Danube and a midnight quadrille are all part of a perfect trip back to the imperial times.

The public is incredibly interested in the Opera Ball that is usually welcoming over 5000 guests and takes place in Viennese State Opera. On the other hand, the ball that is said to have the best atmosphere is called Coffeehouse Owners’ Ball and is held in Vienna’s legendary Hofburg.

Enter the fascinating world of illusions! We will trick your senses and amaze you while doing it. The world that will confuse you completely, but also educate you. Visit the museum of illusions and you will learn that nothing is what it seems, especially not in here!

This extraordinary museum has holograms, stereograms and optical illusions for the whole family to enjoy. Over 70 exhibition pieces present new dimensions of perception. In this interactive museum, visitors can defy gravity in an inclined room, observe other visitors growing and shrinking, lose the ground from beneath their feet in the vortex tunnel (rotating cylinder), serve the head of a visitor on a tray, or take a photo in an infinite room.

The museum in downtown Vienna is suitable for groups, too. An extra room can be definitely used for private gatherings and the museum can be rented for a private visit of small groups.
