New Year's
Eve in Vienna |
This is for sure: At midnight
you will hear famous Pummerin (St. Stephen’s Cathedral)
strike! Apart from that, everything can happen during the biggest
celebration of the year. You can opt for an open-air party inclusive
last minute waltz course all over Vienna’s first district
(‘Silvesterpfad’), escape three-four time at various
clubs (i.e. WUK, Passage, Flex,…) or celebrate in one of
the many pubs at the ‘Gürtel’ (B72, rhiz, Chelsea,…)
or at Bermuda triangle (i.e. krah krah, Bermudabräu, Brennerei,…).
Just before midnight you can watch the official fireworks, which
are supported by considerable private efforts, illuminate the
city!
You can also start this year’s ball season with a banger,
famous ‘Kaiserball’. At the magnificent halls of the
‘Hofburg’ you first enjoy a splendid dinner and then
mark the beginning of the new year in three-four time.
You mustn’t miss famous ‘Neujahrskonzert’ the
day after which is performed by the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra
and is broadcast on TV (ORF from 11 a.m., international stations
from 12 a.m.).

New Year's Concert - Neujahrskonzert
|
This concert of the Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra, known for playing "serious"
music, is dedicated to the Strauss family and the Waltz. Since
1939 this annual welcome to the new year has been staged in
traditional Musikverein building. It is broadcast live on TV
and a very popular international event. It has managed to become
part of Austrian tradition, its tickets being sold out for years
and its TV broadcast being one of the most successful Austrian
shows.
