Ringstrasse boulevard encircles the historic city center of Vienna, along important historic buildings. Take streetcar n° 1 or 2 for a sightseeing tour. Along the 5 km long and 57 m wide boulevard there is a lot of interesting buildings to see:

  • the Imperial Palace, housing many collections
  • Vienna State Opera
  • Museum of Fine Arts and Natural History
  • the Natioal Theatre
  • Museum of Applied Arts
  • the University
  • Votive Church
  • the former Stock Exchange
  • and the Parliament building

Visiting the City Park, located at the Ringstrasse, you can see the golden statue of waltz king Johann Strauss.

The City center

Rathausplatz, which is also situated along the boulevard at the City Hall, is one of the busy squares of Vienna. In summer the outdoor Music Film Festival entertains the audience, also providing delicacies at the stands around.

At Christmas time Vienna’s Advent gives a special ambience and Vienna’s “Dream on Ice” in winter provides skating fun.

Getting off at Schwedenplatz you can change to a round-trip sightseeing boat, go for another round or just enter the city’s heart around Stephansplatz with the dome.

The ROCKHOUSE

November 20, 2007

ROCK in the HOUSE – all year long

ROCKHOUSE in Salzburg is the # 1 ROCK event location for you in Salzburg. We present all the various styles of ROCK music to you and there is hardly any event you want to miss.

We organize concerts with international stars but also with newcomer bands. This composition is very important to us as we want to give a chance to local heroes and bands that are unknown until now. In average we offer 4 concerts evenings a week – so get a ride and visit us! When you enter our foyer you quickly will get a first taste of ROCKHOUSE and its special ambience:

  • the compressed atmosphere of the concert hall
  • the close and friendly ambience of ROCKHOUSE bar
  • and the relaxed and easy-going chill-out lounge upstairs

Your preferred evening activity does not matter – ROCKHOUSE is the right place for it.

Our POINT of ROCK
Our message about ROCK music

It is important for us to give you the right feeling about ROCK music. If you think about it at first terms like Brit rock, Hard rock, Metal or Grunge come to your mind. There is much more to discover about ROCK music:

  • Jazz & Blues,
  • Folk & Pop,
  • Metal & Crossover,
  • Punk & Underground,
  • And contemporary music & avant-garde

To use the words of a well-known ROCK musician, Serj Tankian – vocalist of System Of A Down: “The different genres in music are like different colours on a colour palette … it’s all just music!”

So we are trying to provide various concerts to talk to everyone in the “universal language” as music often is called. If you visit us more often a membership is the right thing for you, which gives you lots of benefits such as cheaper concert tickets.
