Three exhibition levels explain his Vienna years through displays, text, music, and an audio guide for adults or children. Add Haus der Musik for a stronger music-focused visit.

Enter Vienna’s New Hofburg at Heldenplatz and follow an audio guide through the Weltmuseum, Imperial Armoury, and Historic Musical Instruments collection. You’ll see royal rooms, costly armor, Mozart’s fortepiano, and the only lifelike wax bust of Joseph Haydn, with commentary in nine languages.
“it was very hot inside the building but the display was amazing”
Explore Schlumberger’s historic Vienna cellar with a self-guided audio tour in your choice of eight languages. See hand-riddling racks, learn how bubbles form, then taste sparkling wine, rosé, or a mixed set. The cellar is cool, and the experience suits visitors aged 16 and over.
“The Rose flight is more impressive. 2 of 3 bottles purchased! The staff were so lovely and helpful.”
You guide yourself through Vienna with a mailed box of 16 numbered envelopes. Solve simple riddles, follow directions, and pause whenever you like at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Graben, Heldenplatz, the Hofburg, Votiv Church, and other central sights. No guide joins you.
“Im Zuge von einem Betriebsausflug haben wir diese Jagd gemacht. War lustig. Wir haben für 12 Stationen 1,5 Stunden gebraucht. Ich denke in 2 Stunden kann man fertig sein.”
