The house · Schönbrunner Schlossstraße 47, 1130 Wien
The Orangery Franz I Stephan had Nicola Pacassi build around 1754 — at 189 metres longer than the palace itself and, after Versailles, the largest in Europe, and the only other one still working. Joseph II held his winter banquets here, and in 1786 set Mozart and Salieri against each other in this hall. Its 250-year-old floor heating still runs.

The building
The Orangery Franz I Stephan had Nicola Pacassi build around 1754 — at 189 metres longer than the palace itself and, after Versailles, the largest in Europe, and the only other one still working. Joseph II held his winter banquets here, and in 1786 set Mozart and Salieri against each other in this hall. Its 250-year-old floor heating still runs.
The entrance is directly opposite the U4 station "Schönbrunn", about two minutes on foot and 300 m to the left of the palace’s main gate. There is a taxi rank in front of the Orangery and a chargeable APCOA car and coach park directly opposite.
Our own counter is at Herrengasse 5, 1010 Wien, 10:00–18:00, if you would rather collect a ticket from a person than from an inbox.

About these facts
Every fact on this page checked against palaceconcertsvienna.com on .
Everything on the ticket. The price shown is the price charged: our booking fee is €0.00 and we print it on your order at €0.00 rather than leaving it out. The cloakroom is €1 per person and item, paid at the door, and is the one thing that is not — except in Category VIP, which includes it.
At checkout. Your QR code, wallet pass and PDF exist the moment your card is charged.
Where in the room you sit. VIP is the front rows and adds priority entry at the bar and the hall door, free cloakroom, a programme booklet and a glass of sparkling wine; A is the front behind it, B the middle, C the back.
Not a numbered one — nobody can, because there are none. You book a category and choose your own chair inside it when you arrive; the hall opens half an hour before the start.
About an hour and forty-five minutes, with an interval. There is a concert bar before it and during the interval; drinks stay in the bar area.
Smart casual. There is no formal dress code and nobody is turned away for it.
The one printed on the date you choose — almost always the Orangery, and on a few dates the Great Gallery or the White-and-Gold Room in the palace. The programme and the prices are the same in all three.
Yes, free, until 48 hours before, for the same category, up to twice. If the new date costs more you pay the difference; if it costs less, your original price stands.
Fourteen days from purchase, and never inside 48 hours of the concert — whichever comes first. The exact date is printed on your order line.
You seat yourselves, so yes — arrive together and sit together. We book your party on one order so you are admitted as one.
Not during the concert — sound, photo and video recording are not permitted for copyright reasons. Before and after it, as you like, for yourself.
You are refunded in full and immediately, whatever the date, and told that we could not supply it. There is no voucher and no substitute you did not choose.
