Great show. Picking up the tickets was a little hassle as we came in the palace grounds and no one properly knew where to obtain tickets (somewhat understandable given the size of the grounds and the collection location). The meal was satisfying although rather basic but servers were very friendly. The show was very good and very entertaining with talented performers. Would recommend

Marie_L, Mar 2026

The restaurant had great service and the show was wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that visits Vienna.

A luxury music experience

Courtney_F, Feb 2026

Nice event in total especially the concert

Peter_K, Dec 2025

The concert in Schönbrunn was very nice. The dinner only average. There is definitely room for improvement.

No value for the visitor’s money

Dimitrios_K, Dec 2025

It is overrated based on what someone expects to see and to hear. The chair distribution is unacceptable creating many rows where only the expensive front vip rows have better view and acoustical access to the concert. The diagrams given when you buy the tickets are unclear

Beautiful setting with...

Janine_K, Dec 2025

Beautiful setting with amazing talented artists made this a truly memorable evening. Don't think twice book this experience you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful experience

Conita_L, Nov 2025

After searching a bit for the ticket collection area (which was all good as we clocked 20 000 steps that day) from the dinner to the concert it was amazing. Definitely a to do in Vienna

Beautiful experience!

Marlene_J, Oct 2025

Beautiful music in a beautiful setting! The dinner was very good and the music was amazing! Very talented, singers and musicians!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much!🥰

A Beautiful Evening at the Palace

Chrissie_G, Oct 2025

We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant right next to the entrance to the palace. Rather than going to the concert in the Orangery, our concert was in the palace great hall and wow, what a beautiful venue. We were fortunate enough to have front row seats, but I can’t imagine any seat being bad for a concert like this.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for your lovely feedback!💖

Good but not great

Steven_M, Sep 2025

This experience was a very good experience, but was not an amazing experience. The dinner was a set menu at a restaurant right next to the palace, which was good. There were not any amazing views from the restaurant of the palace so you’re sitting inside it. very nice restaurant. The logistics were easy, and then the tour of the palace really just included the main room of the palace, and not any other portion of the palace. The music was excellent and included two opera singers. If you can’t make the formal offer, this would be a really good experience. However, I would say the experience was a little underwhelming. It was just basically the music on stage in the main room. I think I would’ve been better suited to do The classical music in the church setting. I will say that although I do enjoy classical music, I am not a diehard classical music fan, but the music itself was wonderful and the instruments were great and the artists were excellent. If you only wanna see the main palace main room and see Musick it’s a perfect way to go. If you want to experience more of the palace, I would not recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your detailed feedack, we are sorry that our experience didn't quite meet your expectations. However, thank you for your valuable points. Greetings from the Schönbrunn Palace Orangery 🥰

Skip dinner, do the show only

AnnmarieS_B, Aug 2025

It would be nice if you clarify that you can pick up tickets utill 6:30, so we are not wasting time and hurrying to get the tickets, also dinner was at a different location, food was good. My advice, skip dinner and just do the show, it would be cheaper

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks for your suggestions, on which platform did you book your concert tickets? Thanks in advance!🎶

Save your money

Robin_a, Aug 2025

I wanted to really enjoy this experience. Dinner was not an enjoyable experience, it was more of a production line. All seated in a row and serve all at the same time. We hadn't even finished dessert when the staff was taking off the table cloth and making us feel uncomfortable to be there. The concert was lovely. I would save the money next time and eat some where else and just come for the concert.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your valuable feedback, what did you not like about the 3-course-dinner? However, we are happy you enjoyed our classical concert at the Schönbrunn Orangery 💕

Not do great

JoAnn_d, Jun 2025

Concert was ok but you can skip the dinner Very bland food. Concert is in a room in front of the palace and separate from the restaurant.. Overall not really worth it.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for your comment, first of all, we are sorry about your experience. What was the name of the restaurant you went? Then we can forward your feedback directly to the restaurants staff. Thank you!🎶

Great experience but it was hard to find and instructions were unclear.

Carin_L, Dec 2024

Food was good but drinks were extra. Concert was amazing. Beautiful surroundings! Xmas market was also a gorgeous surprise.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your review & we hope to see you again next year!🥂 Greetings from Schönbrunn!

Excellent experience

Matt_N, Nov 2024

This package was very nice! The meal was excellent and although drinks are out of pocket, it’s well worth it. The concert was wonderful! I highly recommend this for a nice evening. From start of dinner to end of concert, it was just under 4 hours.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much, we are glad to hear that you had a great evening inclusing dinner and our concert at the Schönbrunn Orangery! 🎵

Great tour

Kelly_D, Nov 2024

My family and I really enjoyed this tour. The dinner was good and very close to the show. I only wish the show was more of a Holiday show or had a few Holiday selections. But overall, we enjoyed ourselves

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much, we are glad you and your family had a great time at the Schönbrunn Orangery! 🎶

Top notch experience

Daniel_M, Sep 2024

The meal was excellent and the service superb! The concert was the first of its kind I attended. I was awestruck by the sounds and performance from the orchestra. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Daniel, thank you for your kind words!⭐ We are happy you enjoyed our 3-course dinner and spent a great evening with classical music at the Schönbrunn Orangery! Greetings from Vienna🎵

Wonderful Experience

Brett_T, Sep 2024

Dinner was delicious and the wait staff were friendly. The concert was delightful. My wife and I enjoyed the lively selections. The conductor was charming, the instrumentalists were fantastic and the singers were amazing. Couldn’t recommend this more.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely recommendation, we appreciate your feedback!🙌 We are very happy that you enjoyed the dinner and the concert, especially the conductor and of course our wonderful musicians! See you soon again at Schönbrunn Orangery ✨

Enjoyable!

Ginny_H, Aug 2024

The dinner was good, but people were pushed into one area of the restaurant very close to their neighbour.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We are very sorry, on which day did you join the dinner & concert? Thanks in advance & Greetings from the Schönbrunn Orangery!

Beautiful Evening in Vienna

Amy_J, Aug 2024

Beautiful setting, orchestra, vocalists first rate, lovely dinner-highly recommend! Friends did the audio tour-wish I had as well Viator needs to give better guidance for ticket pickup-takes place in Orangery-ticket pickup is there not at palace ticketing

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you Amy for your honest feedback, we are happy you enjoyed the dinner and concert! See you soon again at Schönbrunn Orangery 🎶

A fairy tale evening!

Chad_B, Jul 2024

The night in the palace was AMAZING. The entertainment was really high level and the setting was immaculate. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Though the dinner was pretty average, the concert and the environment more than made up for it. The palace was STUNNING.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you SO much for your lovely comment on our package including the exclusive palace tour, dinner and our magical concert in the Schönbrunn Orangery!✨ See you soon & Greetings from Vienna!

Ethereal setting

Christine_s, Jun 2024

We had a great experience . The restaurant was and the venue for the chamber music was ethereal. We were surprised with opera music as well. Great evening - highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks for recommending our daily concerts, we are glad that you spent a great evening at the Schönbrunn Orangery! See you soon!🙌

Probably better deals than this.

Manny_G, Jun 2024

Dinner was so so. Service was terrible. We arrived 15 minutes early and waited almost a half hour for the first course to be served. Each course took forever to come out of the kitchen. Food was ok, not great, not bad. The venue is nice, but you really only see a very small part of the palace. The room the concert is very large, probably 300 plus people in there. Sound was awful, very muddy. First half of the concert (all Mozart and a little Haydn) was great, second half with Strauss and others not so much. We bought “A” tickets are were probably 15 rows back.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you very much for taking your time to write some feedback about your "Evening in Schönbrunn" Package! We are very sorry that your dinner experience was not as expected. First of all, what was the name of the restaurant? We will of course pass on your feedback on the menu in order to improve the quality of the service.

All in all, thanks for your review & sorry for the inconveniences! Greetings from Schönbrunn!

An enjoyable evening

Melody_C, May 2024

The Opera singers fantastic - the music accompanying too - wouldn’t though bother with the meal before - restaurant lacked any atmosphere and food mediocre.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for your great feedback on our package "dinner & concert", we are very happy that you liked the performance and quality of our classical concert. Would you be so kind to provide us some more information on the dinner? What did you not like about it? Thank you in advance & Greetings from the Schönbrunn Orangery!

Very low level compared to the expectations raised by event title.

JoseCarlos_M, May 2024

The enviroment completely out of the expetations. The dinner was in the museum cafeteria and the concert was in the restored old stables. The expectation was that both events would have been in the palace lounge. It is important to describe this types of details.

Response from Host, May 2024

First of all, thank you very much for your feedback regarding your evening at Schönbrunn. However, we do not offer dinner at a cafeteria, we work together with a partner restaurant, the main restaurant of the palace. Also, the concert takes place in the Schönbrunn Orangery, a location with a lot of tradition and history, even Mozart himself played there. It is definitely not in the restored old stables. Concerning the location of our products, everything can be seen on our website, on folders (also on maps with directions) and is communicated that to our partners. Where exactly did you get that wrong information? Thanky for sharing that & Greetings from the Schönbrunn Orangery!

Good but needs more details on how to get to the place

Alonso_L, Feb 2024

I love the clasic music that is why I have purchased the VIP tickets to celebrate my birthday in VIENNA with a live concert and dinner. Do not get me wrong the food was great, the concert place beautiful is just that the information to get to the place is so poor and then there is not assigned seats on VIP and they charge you to keep your jacket. So nice experience just need a little bit of more details when it comes to how the package and arrival.works.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback and happy belated birthday from our team! We know that for some people the whole area is a bit confusing, but you should always get a map on your reservation confirmation and there is also a map and descriptions on our website. However, we will keep that in mind, thanks. Greetings from Schönbrunn!

Beautiful concert BUT 3 Course meal needs major improvement.

Genie_O, Jan 2024

The concert was beautiful and the acoustics amazing. For a performance hall of this caliber the seat layout needs improvement to allow all to see the concert and what they paid for. Chances are very high that someone short or medium height, will have a very tall person sitting in front and completely blocking their view. The 3 course meal was a total letdown in service, quality of the food and delay in serving the food. We got to the restaurant at least 1.5 hours before the performance and had to rush through our meal because the kitchen was obviously backed up and short staffed. Drink selection was sub par.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you very much for all the details about your evening, we constantly try to improve the quality for our guests, so your feedback is very welcome. We will try to improve the seat layout problem, however, it is difficult for us to change that. Concerning the dinner, we regularly check the quality of the food and it always is excellent. We agree that you need time for the dinner, this is because the food is not already ready and just served, but they prepare it rather freshly. However, we are sorry if you were disappointed. Greetings from Schönbrunn!

A lovely cultured evening

ruth_f, Dec 2023

The beautiful surroundings and fantastic music. The meal included is a short walk away but very nice food.

Great dinner, entertaining performances

ddizon726, Nov 2023

Dinner of beef roast was good, the performances after were also great. A mix of a big ensemble concert and opera performances. Too bad we did this the first night we arrived from a 20 hour flight from another time zone, so we were falling asleep during the performance. The lag between dinner and performance was also kind of big (630pm vs 830pm). Recommend you do this only after you’ve already adjusted from your trip if coming from a long journey.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Guest, thank you so much for writing a review! Great that you liked the 3-course dinner and enjoyed our classical concert. We hope to see you again soon, greetings from the Orangery Schönbrunn!

Great performance and food. The ambience is not as advertised though

Sharmili_P, Nov 2023

Amazing performance and the dinner was great. While the performance did not happen in schonbrunn itself, four star for the event. I was hoping to get a glimpse of schonbrunn, but disappointed.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you very much for writing a review! Great that you enjoyed the dinner and concert. The location of the concert is communicated everywhere, however, we are sorry that it wasn't clear for you. See you soon & greetings from the Orangery Schönbrunn!
