Europe's first address
Where monarchs once held court, HOFBURG Vienna now captivates as an international congress and events centre. Every room has a history of its own.
Whether famous composers such as Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart holding their world premieres, as well as crowned Heads and Presidents - from Kennedy to Khrushchew - were taking political decisions, the Hofburg Congress Center welcomes the 'Who is Who' of world’s history.
Today, HOFBURG Vienna hosts up to 350 events per year. The Hofburg Congress Center offers 182,000 sq.ft. of floor space spread across 35 rooms for events allowing 50 to 4,900 participants. One can choose from larger State rooms such as the Festsaal (up to 1,210 people) or the Grosser Redoutensaal (up to 700 people) and the Zeremoniensaal (up to 500 people). Modern glass architecture such as the Dachfoyer (up to 250 people) as well as in the Hofburg Galerie (up to 350 people) harmoniously links past to present.
Festive halls offer an unique setting and state-of-the-art technology for on-site, hybrid or digital events. The technical team supports event organizers with virtual concepts and technical implementation in the festive halls. Live streams, interactive tools and state-of-the-art technology contribute significantly to a complete performance appearance for the virtual target group.
Located in the heart of Vienna - with 8,000 hotel rooms, 40 restaurants and magnificent shopping streets within walking distance - HOFBURG Vienna is Europe’s first address for congresses and meetings as well as exhibitions, banquets, concerts and balls.
