See the apartment where Strauss spent seven years playing and composing music, as well as an exhibition about his life and relics from his career in the Viennese ballrooms and concert halls.

Often referred to as the unofficial national anthem of Austria, Strauss' The Blue Danube has been played for over a hundred years all over the world. It was composed while he lived in the apartment on Praterstraße, then a highly fashionable suburban street in Vienna. 

In the apartment now you'll get to see his own instruments and furniture, as well as paintings illustrating his work as a composer, musician and conductor. You'll also get an in-depth look at his personal life, his marriages; his enthusiasm for cards and billiards; and his work as a caricaturist. As well as learning more about his similarly talented brothers, Eduard and Josef, who completed the Strauss musical dynasty. 

The Johann Strauss Apartment gives you a full picture of the world-renowned musician and his life in 19th-century Vienna. 

Getting in: just show your pass at reception, and you're in.
