    Arrive early to the concert to enjoy the free drinks (including beer!). And then relax at the presentation. The seats behind the orchestra provide a generous view and are cheaper than the main floor.

    Beautiful place, you can attend to a free concert on Wednesdays. For that you need to come and get a free ticket around 11:00~11:30am. The concert then starts at 12:30pm

    Amazing! Make sure to go to the free lunchtime concert on Wednesdays. Arrive about 11.15 for a short queue to pick up tickets (tickets are able to be collected 1 per person from 11.30).

    Beautiful concert space! Sat on one of the side balconies and had a great experience. There's free wine during intermission but it goes quick.

    The balcony might a far place to enjoy a concert here, but definitely doesn't give any less impression of the place. Very nice style!

    Nice place to get a decent, low-cost glass of wine or a beer in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. You may have to poke someone with a stick to get some attention.

    Probably concert hall with the best acoustic in Europe! And I love how affordable the tickets are. If you are under 30, join their Entree to purchase any tickets (from any ranks), paying only 10 euro!
