Your table seat is reserved for you for the entire evening. Therefore, it is not possible to reserve another seat apart from the reserved one.

  10. Do I have to be able to dance in order to visit the HOFBURG Silvesterball?
    Being able to dance is not a must. Even if you don't float all evening, you will experience a magical time.

If you still want to learn to dance in time, you can book a waltz lesson with the Elmayer Dance School.
