Orangery — Attraction in Vienna

Really poor directions. Had tickets to a concert. The directions on the site said it was just to the left of the main entrance. So walking up to the main entrance there are several buildings-none of which are the orangery. Not a big deal, there’s a map inside the gardens of the palace. Not only are there 2 orangeries (one is spelled Orang.erie)-& one is called the orangerie. There’s also a orangerie garden. But no signage about the concert. No way of getting inside the venue from the palace, so 45 minutes of increasingly frantic walking & encountering a growing group of people in the same position, we finally find it. Hint to everyone. The entrance is on the Main Street so you do t even have to go into the palace. Some clear signs would go a long way to helping.

The show...

Just scam, save your money and don't come here. "The second biggest Orangerie in europe" and there is not one single orange to see, just apples and grapes. The mainattraction the wintergarden were the oranges come for the wintertime is open but complitely empty, it is just up to your imagination what should going on there. The joke on top is the cashier were i bought the ticket told me there are not realy oranges at the moment and there are more oranges in some other garden for that i have to buy one more ticket for again 4,50 €. In the Orangerie there are no oranges but in another garden a few steps away there are the oranges but you must buy a ticket 2 times. Just disapointing and not worth it. Zero stars for that...

Not very impressive. Only one small section of the enormous building is open and plants are nice but not overly special.

The revolving gate used to restrict entry is also the exit. This means that visitors with tickets on their phone have to carefully time when they scan a ticket to enter through the gate . It took us 5-10 minutes to enter with just a few guests ahead of us and probably the same amount of time to see the plants. We encountered the same unnecessary traffic jam...
