In the days and nights leading up to New Year's Eve few places in the world can match the Austrian capital for its elegance and uncompromising indulgence that harks back to an era when Vienna was the world's music powerhouse. Christmas lights, festive spirits and the traditional covering of snow and ice beneath foot all add to the ambience of Vienna on New Year's Eve itself. But, in a city renowned for its music culture, there really is only one place to be and to be seen on New Year's Eve - and that's the Imperial Ball! The Imperial Ball The Imperial Ball in Vienna (also known as the Kaiserball) is one of the highlights of the Viennese calendar. Held in the halls of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, the ball is a music and dance extravaganza taking in the Viennese Waltz and operatic melodies.
