Useful tips

  • Performances and Morning Exercise feel different to watch, so decide which experience you want first.
  • Follow the on-site guidance for photography and seating rules.
  • When planning your schedule, it can be hard to choose between a performance, Morning Exercise, and a guided tour. Since the official programs differ in timing and character, first decide whether you want to see the horses' training process or a finished performance.
  • If you're pairing it with sightseeing in and around the Hofburg, allow separate time for entry queues, seat checks, and getting to the performance venue.

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit on days without a performance?

Training viewings or tours may run on some days. Check the official site for programs by date.

How are the performance and Morning Exercise different?

The official site presents performances as programs for seeing the Lipizzaners' polished movements, while Morning Exercise is listed as a separate event. Performances are shown as about 45 minutes or 70 minutes and Morning Exercise as about 60 minutes, but date-specific conditions should be checked in the official schedule.
