Vienna · The Season · January to March
In short
A Waltz Lesson, then the Ball is Vienna's ball season from the inside: an afternoon with a ballroom master until the left turn finally works, then the ball itself, with gowns and an orchestra, as guests rather than spectators. It runs from January to March, and Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made journey.

An afternoon with a ballroom master until the left turn finally works, then the evening itself: gowns, an orchestra, and the ball season as guests rather than spectators.
Good to know
Yes. Visitors can attend Vienna's balls, and with A Waltz Lesson, then the Ball, Avellera makes you a guest rather than a spectator. The afternoon is spent with a ballroom master until the left turn finally works, and the evening is the ball itself, with gowns and an orchestra. Avellera arranges both privately within a tailor-made journey to Vienna.
Vienna's ball season falls in the Carnival months of winter, and A Waltz Lesson, then the Ball is offered from January to March. Avellera matches the ball to your travel dates, schedules the private waltz lesson with a ballroom master for the afternoon before, and plans the rest of your stay in Vienna around that evening.
Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds A Waltz Lesson, then the Ball into a private, tailor-made journey through Austria, together with hotels, transfers and guides. Travel between January and March to catch the season. Planning is free, and the online planner on avellera.com returns a personal trip idea and PDF right away.

Vienna & the Imperial City
01A Baroque hall booked for your party alone, and an orchestra that plays only for you. Mozart and Strauss in the kind of room they were written for, with champagne in the interval.
03The doors open an hour early and the state rooms are yours. A curator walks you through, the galleries are silent, and the crowd arrives only as you are leaving.
04Klimt’s Kiss without a shoulder in the way. A private art historian, the Baroque gardens on the way in, and time to stand in front of one painting for as long as you like.
