Holidays for Music Lovers

Delight in musical performances from the world's greatest composers or the most colourful and authentic traditional dance and song from around the globe. Prick up your ears, here are our top musical picks to enjoy on your next trip!

As you travel with Riviera, we'll explore the world's musical landscapes, discovering not just new sounds, but also the rich tapestries of the cultures from which they emerge.

From jazz dancing through the air of a vibrant street to the fiery chords giving life to the drama and romance of Spain's flamenco, music transcends borders and languages and offers a unique connection to the very soul of each destination. As you explore new landscapes, the universal language of music becomes a bridge to better understanding and experiencing the very heart of different cultures; every region has its distinctive sound, each note and rhythm telling its own fascinating story of heritage, tradition, and passion.

There are few cities in the world where the elegance and grandeur of classical music are more evident than in Vienna. The Austrian capital is synonymous with the works of Johann Strauss and Mozart. You'll find Vienna's musical scene is not just a nod to history but very much a living tradition, with performances that still draw and captivate audiences from around the world.
