Festsaal 1: Festsaal

Our USP

As an imperial conference and event centre, there is nothing like the Hofburg Vienna anywhere else in the world. For over 700 years, both past and modern history have been written within its walls. Halls equipped for multifunctional purposes, architecture that ranges between traditional and contemporary, state-of-the-art events technology as well as the customer-oriented, personalised service turn this congress centre into a centre of excellence.

Its location at the heart of Vienna is another unique selling proposition. Cultural institutions – like museums, the Staatsoper and theatres – as well as certain universities are all conveniently situated within a few minutes’ walking distance. Hotels, restaurants and shopping options are located in direct proximity. The Hofburg Vienna is at the heart of Vienna, and Vienna is where the heart of Europe beats
