Look around
My 42-square-meter refuge is located in the heart of the Old Town in a narrow alleyway that intersects with the magnificent Am Graben pedestrian area. Built in the late Middle Ages, the house is one of the oldest in Vienna, with bowed inner corridors and beautiful old stone stairways. I almost feel like I’m in a small castle inside my apartment, and I therefore jokingly call it “my royal quarters”.
The inner city is Vienna’s 1st district and the old town center of Austria’s capital city. It is home to the most important attractions – including about 60 museums and 3 beautiful historic parks. Walking through the Old Town, you can really breathe in the history of Vienna, taking you back to the days when it was an Imperial & Royal metropolis of music, art, and diplomacy.

Classical music and Vienna - two inseparable concepts! My love for both and an enthusiasm for the unique history of the city brought me to Vienna years ago. It has now become my second home and I spend as much time as possible in this charming and lovable town. Architecturally, Vienna is the backdrop for the great operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – full of magic, beauty, drama, and sophistication.
This building makes my heart beat faster! It’s where the world famous New Year’s Concert is played live by the Vienna Philharmonic on January 1st and broadcast across the world. Tours are also available from Monday to Friday.
