So why not go ahead and feel like Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, enjoying a three-course candlelight dinner at Café-Restaurant Residenz, next to the palace´s main entrance. In summer – if the weather permits – your imperial dinner will be served outside on the restaurant´s comfortable garden terrace.
Salmon appetizer
Turkey fillet with pepper mousseline, served with grilled vine tomatoes and Duchesse potatoes
Chocolate mousse from Landtmann´s fine pastry shop, served with fruit sauce
Vegetarian? No problem! Vegetarian menues on request!
Beverages not included.
Concert
Let Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra Vienna take you on a trip into the very heart of the former imperial Vienna. The sound of Strauss and Mozart, marvellous solo singers and ballet dancers, and the unique setting of the exquisitely restored Schoenbrunn Orangery will give you a timeout from the modern world. The Orangery – conveniently located just a few steps from Schoenbrunn underground station (line U4) – originally served as a place for overwintering plants and has become a venue for exclusive concerts and events today. Being a part of Schoenbrunn Palace, the Orangery is a UNESCO world-cultural heritage site. How often do you get the chance to enjoy Strauss and Mozart in a truly historic venue?
Note: In case of private functions in the Schoenbrunn Orangery, Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts will take place in the Great Gallery (Grosse Galerie) or the White-Gold Room (Weissgoldzimmer) inside Schoenbrunn Palace, at Schoenbrunn Palace Theatre or in other concert halls in Vienna.
Documents
We will deposit all documents (river cruise and dinner vouchers, concert tickets and public transport tickets) at the front desk of your hotel in Vienna. No need to pick them up from the Orangery!
