The 8 VIP Experiences in Austria That Earn Their Price

1.Best of Mozart Concert and Dinner or VIP Dinner at Fortress Hohensalzburg

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 598 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102Our pick

Ride the funicular to Fortress Hohensalzburg, dine above Salzburg, and hear a roughly 90-minute concert of Mozart to Strauss in historic rooms. Choose the classic, VIP, or Golden VIP package. VIP options add better seating, and Golden VIP includes drinks and an intermission sparkling wine. Smart casual dress is required.

“The meal was delicious; the concert was spectacular. These two facts superceded the fact that both the restaurant and concert hall were dreadfully hot. Also, the online description of this tour made it seem as though the dinner and concert were at the same location. The signage outside of the restaurant could have been more specific in stating “Mozart Concert Dinner”.

2.Mozart Concert and Dinner or VIP Dinner at Fortress Salzburg with River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 280 reviews · 4 hours 10 minutes (approx.) · from $136

You’ll cruise the Salzach River, ride the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress, enjoy a set dinner with city views, and hear Mozart performed in the Golden Hall. Choose standard or VIP dining. The evening lasts about four hours and ten minutes, with no hotel transfers and many steep steps to the concert room.

“Overall it was a great opportunity to see Salzburg from the river, eat some good food and enjoy some Mozart. What I didn’t understand is why they couldn’t have had a guide because it was at times confusing going from 1 part of the city to another. I certainly don’t think a guide was necessary for the entire trip but perhaps this company could provide at least as t a YouTube video explaining everything so to make this a more cohesive experience.

Our host Anaïs was so friendly and made sure our whole group had a great time and always felt safe. She was the life of the party! The price is a bargain for the 3 shots included and vip treatment at all of the pubs. Highly recommend!”
