Vienna: Light of Creation Votivkirche

About this experience

Book Light of Creation tickets at Vienna's Votivkirche Use this page to book Light of Creation tickets in Vienna for a 30-minute immersive light and sound show inside the Votivkirche, the neo-Gothic Votive Church on Rooseveltplatz. Projection mapping turns the church interior into a canvas of light and colour, set to an original musical score. It is a short, seated experience that works as an evening plan on its own or between dinner and a later night out, and it is open to guests aged 6 and above. You pick a date, a start time and a seating category, then receive your voucher by email. Both seating categories offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; bookings cannot be cancelled in the last 24 hours before the start. What happens during the 30-minute light and sound show Light of Creation follows the story of the universe across six chapters: the first light, the separation of water, the formation of land and the blossoming of life. State-of-the-art projections play across the church's arches, columns and stained glass, so the historic architecture stays part of the show rather than being hidden behind a screen. The specially composed score moves from gentle sounds that depict the Big Bang to powerful, solemn passages that fill the nave. As the show ends, you take in the final interplay of light, sound and architecture before heading back out onto Rooseveltplatz. Category I or Category II: choosing your seats Every ticket includes a fixed seat for the Light of Creation show. Category I seats give a clear, unobstructed view of the projections. Category II seats have a slightly restricted view of parts of the show. Choose the category at checkout along with your preferred showtime. Your ticket covers entry to the show only. It does not include a separate church tour or other Vienna attractions. To build a fuller day, add Giant Ferris Wheel skip-the-line tickets, a Vienna hop-on hop-off bus tour or the Vienna City Card for transport and discounts. Entry, age limit and what to bring Show your voucher on your mobile phone together with a valid photo ID at the starting point. Check your final voucher for the exact starting point details and any specific instructions for your showtime. The show is for guests aged 6 and above. For safety reasons, visitors with visual impairment and people with epilepsy cannot take part in this experience. Pets are not allowed, and flash photography is not permitted inside the church. There is no formal dress code, but comfortable clothing suited to a visit to a historic monument is recommended. The Votivkirche is not air-conditioned: it is cold in the winter months and hot in summer, so dress for the season. About the Votivkirche and its bells The Votivkirche is one of Vienna's best-known churches, and the show lets you see its interior in a completely different light. Look out for its historic bells too: the church has nine bells, four of which are still in active use, and the largest weighs over five tonnes.
