Lilit AbrahamyanDecember 27, 2014Awesome!And must-see! If you fail to get a ticket for the performance you can buy one for their morning exercises. It costs €14 for adults but you hardly see anything interesting. So book in advance!
𝙶𝚘𝚗𝚣𝚊𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚜October 15, 2018Come watch the practice to watch the work that goes into the craft, and see the lovely building. But keep your expectations at bay in terms of action you’ll see.- KennyJune 18, 2015the morning training is worth watching and then the tour with horses in their stables with a guide who knows everything about this school. Wonderful!
Joel BDecember 26, 2014Don't bother with the practice sessions. Some of the riders do interesting stuff, but they mostly just ride in circles. If that's interesting to you then go nuts, otherwise just do the main show
MuratOctober 18, 2022One of the must see attractions. Book tickets in advance. Interesting to see how horses work great with men in the most elegant way. And horses are definately the stars, not men.
Karin GattringerOctober 18, 2018If you want to see the jumps, go for the actual show. If you like horses, it‘s great to see them train in the morning.
Matthew CaldecuttDecember 27, 2015The seats underneath the emperor's portrait are pricy and worth it given how close you are to the action.
Carl GriffinDecember 16, 2015The horses are so incredible and intelligent. A must visit when in Vienna.- ViennaInfoMarch 8, 2012The Spanish Riding School in Vienna with its famous Lipizzan ballet can be experienced live in the baroque ambiance of the Imperial Palace. Read more
- Leonieke AaldersJuly 8, 2015If you want to follow a show or the training, make sure to book your tickets well in advance!
Colin LeeMarch 25, 2016Standing seats at 25 euro; better deal than sitting. The show was very good but keep your expectations lowered (there wasn't any jumps in our show)
Stephen DSeptember 19, 2017Morning practice is not worth the money, quite boring. Come for the main evening show or a stable tour instead if possible
Chelsea MooreOctober 9, 2013Get here at 10 to get a seat. Show up even a little after and expect to stand for the entire performance.
Martins EzermalisMay 16, 2011Beautiful acrobatics and athletics show with dancing Lipizzaner stallons. Take a rest before performance, so that you dont fall asleep while enjoying it.
Felipe OchoaAugust 13, 2013The Morning Exercise as seen from Gallery 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynjKhiXjPzA Totally worth it.
Paul KraFebruary 7, 2017The training session in the morning is not really worth the 15€. All you see is horses circling around and that's it!
Ioannis PapapetrouJanuary 10, 2015Boring attraction..For 2 hours you watch the horses just going around...Beautiful place but there is no show...35€ is too much for that show and the tour...
Shay KoganDecember 18, 2014A morning exercise is a big waste of time. If you can skip it, I'd advise you to do so. Nothing exciting is happening, no special tricks or anything else they just ride around for 12€ to enter
Selin BilekApril 24, 2018Nothing in the morning exercise. You pay 15€ just to see horses walking around. It needs to be free for such level of show.
Danny LewisMarch 8, 2015Went to the morning exercise, not worth it at all. The horses just walk round in a circle..
Nic D.March 29, 2018Deutschsprachige Führung mit spannenden Informationen und Blick hinter die Kulissen der altehrwürdigen Hofreitschule. Nur drei, stets ausgebuchte Führungen, deshalb besser am Vortag buchen!
Marie PicciJune 3, 2016Ne pas hésiter à aller assister à un entraînement, bien moins cher qu'une représentation (compter une dizaine d'euros) et dans un cadre tout aussi appréciable ! J'ai adoré !
Yaren BJanuary 27, 2018Her sabah müzik eşliğinde yapılan antrenmanları 15 Euro karşılığında izleyebilirsiniz. Biniciler geleneksel kıyafetlerini giyiyorlar. Fotoğraf ve video çekmek yasak. İki saat sürüyor.
Paula SalitreApril 29, 2016Totalmente prescindible, al menos para ver los entrenamientos, los cuales son bastante sosos y repetitivos. El edificio en sí es precioso, pero no para los 15€ de entrada.
Marco BerethFebruary 25, 2011Nachmittagstour ist seine 16 Euro definitiv nicht wert. Morgens um 11 Uhr soll man Pferde auch reiten sehen. Wir sahen nur Pferdestall und Reithalle. Reithalle ist beeindruckend. Striktes Fotoverbot!- ViennaInfoFebruary 16, 2012Die Spanische Hofreitschule mit Wiens berühmtem Lipizzaner-Ballett erleben Sie live im barocken Ambiente der Hofburg. Bestaunen Sie Reitkunst in höchster Vollendung. Read more
Drew SovNovember 3, 2013Стоячие места реально утомляют и ничего не видно. Один раз можно сходить и достаточно.
Frank TentlerAugust 24, 2013Sehenswert: Freitags um 1000h ist Training. Für Pferdefreunde besser als Vorführung.
ruslan iFebruary 21, 2013Надо приходить с опозданием, чтобы получить скидку 50 %. Из 2-х часов тренировки полчаса посмотреть вполне достаточно.
Caca HakimJuly 13, 2012O lugar eh lindo. A visita guiada conta a historia, te leva aos cavalos e so! Nao tem apresentacao! Frustrante!!!!
Жиганюк ИгорьJanuary 11, 2013Были с супругой на тренировке.Меня хватило минут на 20, снимать на камеру нельзя.Возможно на выступлении и было бы интереснее.
