Restaurant "Motto am Fluss"
The Motto am Fluss stands for a cosmopolitan outlook, personal service and modern, international contemporary cuisine with an Austrian focus. Since 2010, the Motto am Fluss has enriched the Twin-City Liner’s landing stage in one of the city’s most fascinating quarters – on the banks of the Danube Canal, in the heart of Vienna. The restaurant was designed by BEHF Architects and fashioned in the Venetian style of the 1950s. The café and sun terrace are on the upper deck.

Restaurant "Zur ebener Erde und erster Stock"
Traditional cuisine meets modernity at the Biedermeier restaurant “Zu ebener Erde und erster Stock”. Chef and owner Christian Csermak delights with regional and seasonal delicacies. A cultural evening at the Volkstheater, an afternoon at the MuseumsQuartier, or a visit to the Naturhistorisches and unsthistorisches Museums pairs perfectly with a delicious meal at this gem in the 7th district. Part of the Spittelberg area, the restaurant boasts a history as diverse and unique as the area itself.

Evening Programme
Gala Dinner | 20:00
Palais Pálffy
Event location in the heart of Vienna. Named after the sovereign family Pálffy who inhabited the Palais in the 17th century, it has seen many famous celebrities come and go. One of them was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In his childhood days, the halls would be filled with his music, and it is said that “Figaro” was played here for the very first time to a small selected audience. The reconstruction after World War II gave the building its characteristic look: old Vienna on the outside, and a mix of classicalism and twentieth century inside.
