Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – there’s no direct link between them. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. 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.Each review score is between 1 and 10.

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.

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.
