Guests can also visit the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Botanical Garden, the Guggenheim Museum, and Central Park. Yankee Stadium is near the hotel, which also offers easy access to Harlem, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Little Italy, and the Bronx Zoo. For example, I live in an outer district and have a direct tram line that takes me door-to-door to the Staatsoper in about 25 minutes.The historic Opera House Hotel is located in the heart of the Bronx, offering spacious luxury accommodations within steps of many of the best area attractions. So if you wish to stay in a hotel elsewhere in Vienna, it’s not a problem getting to the evening performance and back again. The Staatsoper sits next to one of the major transport hubs: Karlsplatz station has the U1, U2, and U4 subway lines, and trams 1, 2, D, 62, and 71 all stop at the Oper/Karlsplatz tram stop.Ĭlearly, you can get to and from the opera house very easily (and not forgetting taxis). Vienna is a compact city with an excellent public transport system. The Musikverein: as mentioned earlier, a short walk from one of the world’s greatest opera houses is one of the world’s greatest classical concert venues, which the Wiener Philharmoniker call home.House of Music: a museum of sound which also has rooms dedicated to composers claimed by the Viennese as one of their own, like Beethoven, Mozart and Mahler.Two nearby alternatives for extending your musical experience are: The opera also backs onto the Albertina art museum, home to permanent and temporary exhibitions as well as palais staterooms.Īmong the traditional cafés and coffee houses nearby are Café Sacher (mentioned above) and Café Mozart.Īlso consider popping down Kärntner Straße to Sluka, which has a quite wonderful Jugendstil interior to go with your cake and coffee. (The Musikverein with Karlskirche behind it)Ī hotel near the opera house puts you at the edge of the old town and within a short walk of Stephansdom cathedral, the pedestrianised centre (with its broad historical streets and architectural delights), and Karlsplatz square with the Karlskirche church.
