7- Grosser Musikvereinssaal, Vienna, Austria
Often referred as the best concert hall in the world, the Musikverein, on Vienna’s Ringstrasse is ranked seventh on our list.
The auditorium is home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, with past famous conductors including Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler.
When the Philharmonic plays a sweeping crescendo, it is as though the hall springs into life.
At its quietest the music seems to be coming from the stage, but as notes get louder the whole orchestra appears to physically broaden, and you perceive a tsunami of sound that washes over you from all directions.
The Musikverein’s beautifully ornate auditorium combined with its exquisite sound truly makes this a world class concert hall.
