Travel Info
Is there a formal dress code for attending a concert of Wiener Philharmoniker? I'm a backpacker and it will be quite troublesome for me to bring the suit with me.
Travel Tips
Tourists in the standing room at the Musikverein will wear jeans and t-shirts, but you'll feel out of place dressed like that if you have a seat. The Viennese will put on a real fashion show, including some traditional rural costumes, but you will be just fine if you have a pair of khakis and a nice shirt. I personally would go with black pants and a black shirt -- the more black you wear, the less conspicuous you'll be. I had a Stehplatz subscription one year and never wore a tie, though I often wore a jacket. Be warned, though, if you have a standing ticket: it gets hot back there this time of year, so short sleeves aren鈥檛 a bad idea. |
