Viennese balls and waltzes are an epitome of the Viennese way of life and attract thousands of visitors every year. The ball season, which culminates with the famous opera ball, offers an enchanting mix of tradition, music and dance. In magnificent halls, such as the Hofburg Palace or Vienna City Hall, guests experience a world of elegance and romance. Here you dance to the sounds of Johann Strauss and other waltz composers, dressed in the finest evening wear. These events are a vivid testimony to the cultural significance of waltz, which was elevated to a true art form in Vienna.
