We went to the palace several hours before the tour began and were able to enjoy the Christmas market outside . The dinner was on the palace grounds, the waiter was very kind and attentive and the chef was able to provide a good gluten free meal. The concert was fabulous. VIP tickets gave us front row seats at the concert.”

“First the good stuff - we got A class seats and it was near the front. Musicians are fantastic and they love what they do. Strauss and Mozart was amazing . Now the bad - the venue is mediocre and bland . The sound quality was not good - needs to be crisp and sharp especially violins. The interior was extremely hot . 30F outside but the inside was like 80F . I know it’s a European thing but it was uncomfortable. Only one exit and the lines to get your jackets at the end of the performance was extremely long .”
