The Light Show of Creation in Vienna was one of the most unexpectedly moving experiences I've had in a long time. It takes place inside a church, and the way they use the space is absolutely breathtaking. Light projections cover every surface – from the high ceilings to the altar – creating a visual story of the world’s creation, step by step. Highly recommend it if you're in Vienna. You’ll leave with a quiet sense of awe.

We booked the experience for the late evening, at 10:30pm, on a Friday. Despite it being semi-last minute we were able to get tickets. It wasn't overly crowded so we moved to sit together once the show started. The light shows against the walls of the church were beautiful and paired very well with the music to create a magical, awe-inspiring experience.

I loved the show, really an incredible experience in every way, the lights of course, but also the church itself is a beauty and they make the most of that environment for a beautiful show. I would have liked perhaps a more cheerful music, but it is still very good. The ticket purchase was very fast, although until I got there I didn't see which seat I had been assigned.

Witness the universe's genesis in a unique 30-minute immersive light show at Vienna's historic Votivkirche, where reality and illusion seamlessly blend.

Get captivated by a delightful blend of light, color, and sound, coupled with a specially composed music score, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.

Delve into six distinctive acts showcasing the birth of light, the emergence of land and water, and the blossoming of life, thanks to state-of-the-art projection technology.

Choose between Category I or II tickets for a clear or partially restricted view, respectively, ensuring a memorable experience irrespective of your seating choice.

Fun fact: The Votivkirche has a total of 9 bells, 4 of which are still in active use. The largest bell weighs over 5 tonnes.
