There’s the Christmas tree, Christmas Eve on 25 December and… the New Year’s Eve concert in Vienna! Now in its 85th year, this fabulous event watched by tens of millions of television viewers around the world is back under the direction of the immense Italian conductor Riccardo Muti.
Coming to Vienna for the concert alone is worth a visit. But Vienna has so much to offer at this time of year. Of course, the Austrian capital is marvellous in all seasons, but there is a special magic in winter: the Prater illuminated in lights, the great Christmas markets with, for the more sporty, a magical ice rink in front of the Town Hall, Kärtner Strasse decked out in a thousand lights, and always, of course, the city’s admirable museums, which are among the finest in the world.
If there is one tradition that is firmly rooted in the hearts of the Viennese, it is the New Year’s Eve concert in the legendary Musikverein. The atmosphere is magical, the audience surprisingly warm: you get the impression of attending a gentle, joyful ritual, and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has sounds to die for.
Come and enjoy a magical stay in Vienna !
