    What you'll see and do

    1. Haus der Musik

      House of Music in central Vienna, a museum more off the beaten track, is dedicated to the ‘science’ of sound as well as classical music itself. With all its interactive displays a truly entertaining place for the whole family! Highlights include the historical archives of the Vienna Philharmonic where you can listen to their famous New Year’s Eve concert and the brandnew Sonotopia Universe on the 2nd floor. It´s here where you can create your own sound creature in a VR Lab but also test interactive stations on the physics of sound. If Beethoven, Mozart or the Strauss family are of interest, then head up to the 3rd floor to learn about their lives in the city and the music they created. Grand finale is the virtual conductor exhibit on the 4th floor - test your conducting skills by waving a baton along to a video of Vienna Philharmonic playing. You will even get feedback after having a go! You might want to enrich your visit by downloading the free museum guide on your smartphone.

    Great Museum

    This is a fantastic museum. We loved that they had evening hours. The museum is very interactive and kept my teen’s attention. We also learned a lot about sound, music, and history. Each floor had unique surprises, culminating in the chance to conduct your own orchestra. Highly recommend for music and history lovers.

    Must do! Beautiful and engaging!

    In my opinion Haus der Musik is a must visit! We only had 24 hrs in Vienna but knew we had to do all we could to learn and connect more to its incredible music/history. Cannot recommend this enough. Very engaging, many floors to explore and great for kids too(our kid age 10 had so much fun)! They have a fun kids book you can purchase for 2 euro with questions and things to find etc. I wish we had more time to spend here and will certainly be back if we visit Vienna again.

    Expected more

    Was a bit disappointing. Not many activities. Interesting conducting experience and Mozart room with interactive melody creation. And unfortunately, that's all.

    For children :(

    If you’re a small child with absolutely no knowledge of music, I’m sure this is an enlightening and engaging experience. Vienna is an expensive city (even for university students despite various discounts), and my money truly should have been spent elsewhere. I would probably come back here as a parent to introduce someone to Viennese composers, but the other exhibitions on what music a frugally is and how it is built came up very short. The games are fun, but again, clearly were designed for children.

    Fun for everyone

    The museum is divided into different floors. The first one is more like a typical museum. There are old letters, facts and figures, old artifacts,… The second is more immersive. You learn about sound and get to try a lot of things yourselves. Then there is a whole part dedicated to different Austrian composers. You learn about their work and life. Also a bit more like a typical museum. You end with an opportunity to conduct the wiener philharmonic yourself. We were six adults and had a good time. We have no kids ourselves, but there were several kids running around and having fun. So definitely something you can do with the whole family.

    Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.

    How much does Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.

    Is Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 209 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Around 73 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vienna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vienna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vienna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Included: Smartphone Museums Guide for download. Not included: Guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Vienna House of Music Entrance Ticket?

    +
