Description
Mozart‘s Schoenbrunn
During the course of his remarkable career, Mozart never failed to come back to the place where it had all started:
Schoenbrunn. At the early age of six, he took his first steps towards an international career by performing for Empress
Maria Theresia in Schoenbrunn. Years later, he had his musical duel with his eternal rival Salieri at Schoenbrunn
Palace Orangery. Some of his works had their world premiere here at the Orangery.

at any day or time or your choice while in Vienna. Groups of 10 and up will enjoy an exclusive guided tour given by

delighted...
