Not sure which ticket to choose?
Choose a performance ticket for the choreographed 'ballet of the white stallions' with music, or a guided tour to see the Renaissance stables and tack room which are off-limits during shows. For those on a budget, morning exercises provide a raw look at training sessions, while combo passes are best for visitors hitting multiple Imperial Vienna landmarks like the Hofburg and Schönbrunn.
You want to see the horses up close in their stables and visit the historic tack room
The guided tour is the only way to access the Stallburg stables and behind-the-scenes areas not visible during performances.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: For Performances and Morning Exercise, use the main entrance at Michaelerplatz under the Michaelertrakt dome. Guided tours typically congregate at the Visitor Center (Besucherzentrum) in the same courtyard. Arrive 30 minutes before your slot to navigate security; large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas must be left at the mandatory cloakroom for a small fee (approx. €2) as they are strictly prohibited inside the Baroque arena.
- Price: Official tickets for the Morning Exercise start at €18, while Guided Tours are €24 and full Performances range from €33 for standing room to over €170 for premium seating. Reduced rates are available for seniors (65+), students under 27, and children (7–18), while children aged 3–6 are free as lap children. Partner prices generally align with official rates but may include service fees or bundled elements; always compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
- Discounts: Official reductions are available for children (7–18), students under 27, and seniors aged 65+; a valid photo ID is mandatory for verification at the entrance. For both the Morning Exercise and Performances, children aged 3 to 6 (inclusive) are admitted free of charge as 'lap children' but must remain on an adult's lap; if they require their own seat, a paid child ticket is necessary. Note that children under 3 years old are strictly not permitted to enter the arena for performances or training for safety and noise reasons. Visitors with disabilities should email [email protected] in advance to reserve one of the limited wheelchair spaces, as the historic building lacks an elevator to the galleries.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket for the Spanish Riding School?
No, digital tickets on your smartphone are accepted at all entrances. Ensure your QR code is downloaded for offline use, as mobile reception inside the historic Hofburg stone walls can be unreliable.
What is the cancellation policy for Lipizzaner performances?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your travel plans are uncertain, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended, as they frequently offer a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
Are children allowed to attend the performances and training?
Children under 3 years old are not permitted in the arena for safety and noise reasons. For Morning Training, children aged 3 to 6 usually enter free of charge if they sit on an adult's lap, while performances require a paid ticket for all permitted ages.
Can I take photos or videos of the horses?
Photography and filming are strictly prohibited during all performances and guided tours to avoid distracting the stallions. During Morning Training, non-flash photography is typically allowed, but video recording remains forbidden.
What happens if I arrive late for a performance?
Late entry is not permitted once the music starts to ensure the horses are not spooked by movement in the stands. You will likely have to wait until a scheduled intermission to be seated, and no refunds are provided for missed segments.
Is there a specific dress code for visitors?
There is no formal dress code for Morning Training or Guided Tours, though smart-casual attire is common. For gala performances, many visitors opt for elegant dress, and large bags or backpacks must be left at the cloakroom (Garderobe) for a small fee.
What is the main difference between Morning Training and a Performance?
Morning Training (Morgenarbeit) is a casual practice session with music showing the horses' daily routine; seating is first-come, first-served. A Performance is a choreographed gala show in full traditional uniform featuring the most advanced 'High School' jumps and movements with assigned seating.
