Central Europe · Early Access · All year
In short
Palaces and Museums, before opening is early access in Vienna, Prague and Budapest: the doors open an hour early, the state rooms are yours, and a curator walks you through silent galleries before the crowd arrives. It is available all year, and Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made journey through Central Europe.

Good to know
Yes. With Palaces and Museums, before opening, Avellera arranges for the doors to open an hour early so the state rooms are yours. A curator walks you through while the galleries are silent, and the crowd arrives only as you are leaving. Avellera offers this early access in Vienna, Prague and Budapest as part of a private, tailor-made journey.
Palaces and Museums, before opening works all year, because the hour before the doors open is quiet in every season. It is most valuable in the busiest months, when the same rooms fill quickly later in the day. Avellera schedules the early access on the right morning of your stay in Vienna, Prague or Budapest and plans the rest of the day around it.
Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds Palaces and Museums, before opening into a private, tailor-made journey through Vienna, Prague and Budapest, together with hotels, transfers and guides.

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.
02An 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.
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.
