Important notes

• Dress code: smart casual
• The concert hall (only Golden hall) does not provide disabled access for people with limited mobility.
• The fortress is located in the Old City (pedestrian area). Go to the funicular station (Festungsgasse 4, 47°47'44''N 13°2'46''E).
Present your voucher to get a ride up for free from 30 min. before dinner start.
• The fortress can be reached within about 15 minutes on foot from most of the city’s hotels, we therefore generally advise city hotel guests not to undertake the journey to the area surrounding the fortress with their own car.
• Getting there with a car:
We recommend the Old Town car park “Altstadtgarage” at Hildmannplatz 1, Entry (Einfahrt) B. Then follow in the garage the signpost “FESTUNG/DOM”. The walk to the fortress from there then takes about 10 minutes. After leaving the garage cross the” Toscaninihof” and turn right direction “DOM (big cathedral)”. In front of the DOM you can see on the right sight the fortress at the mountain Mönchsberg. Cross the “Kapitelplatz” which leads into the Festungsgasse.
You can have your parking ticket punched at the evening box office at the entrance to the concert hall. You can then park at a reduced rate.
• You get your original tickets in the Panorama Restaurant, when you get seated to the tables on the day of the performance.
