What do Napoleon I., John F. Kennedy and the composer Franz Liszt have in common? They were all guets in the magnificent rooms of the Vienna HOFBURG, in rooms where history has been made for more than 700 years.
Europe's first imperial congress and events centre is offering an unmistakable melange of contemporary art and historic flair. The rooms where monarchs once held court now host up to 300 events annually.
As Europe's first address, HOFBURG Vienna is an ideal setting for congresses and meetings, but also for banquets and trade fairs as well as for concerts and balls. A total floor space of 17,000sqm is available for up to 4,900 persons.
The breathtaking Festsaal (Festival Hall) or the modern Forum are ideal for large events, while the Zeremoniensaal (Ceremonial Hall), the former throne room, can serve as a luxurious conference room. For smaller meetings, the conservatory with its magnificent view across Vienna's rooftops or the Hofburg Galerie (Hofburg Gallery) are ideal options. State-of-the-art technology and a professional team are also a matter of course.
