Top Opera Houses in Vienna

Definitely check out the standing tickets! They’re super cheap and give you a chance to see the opera up close. Just make sure to line up early, like around 2 hours before the show starts. I saved a ton this way!

If you want to take a good selfie, head to the steps outside just before sunset. The lighting and the view of the opera is to die for! Trust me, it’ll make your Instagram pop!

I suggest catching an afternoon rehearsal if you can. It was less crowded, tickets were way cheaper, and I got to see some behind-the-scenes action. It’s a more relaxed vibe too.

Dress up a little! While there's no strict dress code, I felt much more immersed in the experience once I put on my nice clothes. Plus, it makes the whole evening feel more special.
