Reviews
nice experience to watch in Vienna. get to understand more about the horses and training section for the show.
overrated, kind of boring. saw altogether 5 horses trodding around. Now very impressive all in all except the architecture of the building itself.
It is recommended to arrive at the counter about half an hour early and show the QR code to receive the physical ticket. There are different entrances according to the seating areas. The venue is clean and comfortable. Horses are easily frightened, so flash photography and video recording are prohibited. You can take pictures as you like when there are no horses.
it was a waste of time and money spent watching horses pace up and down, no jumping no stunts. our seats were terrible and we had to stand for most part of the session. the tickets were not cheap and definitely not worth the money spent. super boring!!!
