The Most Glam Excuses to Travel for 2027

1. Vienna Opera Ball When: Thursday 4 February 2027 | Where: Vienna State Opera, Vienna, Austria There's no more elegant way to open the year than with a waltz. Vienna's ball season, which fills the winter carnival months with hundreds of balls, reaches its climax at the Opera Ball, the grandest night in the Austrian social calendar. Its roots go back to the imperial-era soirées held at the Court Opera in the 1870s, and it took its modern name in the 1930s. After the war, the event returned in 1956 in the restored opera house, and it has been the defining event of Viennese society ever since. For one night, the Vienna State Opera, one of the world's great opera houses, is transformed. The seats in the stalls are removed and a dance floor is built level with the stage, creating a single vast ballroom beneath the tiers of gilded boxes. Flowers cover every surface, and around 5,000 guests fill the house, from heads of state and industrialists to celebrities and devoted waltzers. The highlight is the opening ceremony, when around 150 debutante couples, the young women in white gowns and tiaras and the young men in tailcoats, perform a choreographed polonaise and waltz. Then comes the famous call of "Alles Walzer!" and the floor opens to everyone. The dancing continues until 5am, with bars, a disco and supper rooms spread throughout the building. Insider tips: The dress code is strict: white tie and tails for men, floor-length evening gowns for women. Tickets and especially boxes sell out well in advance, so plan early, and note that an entry ticket doesn't include a seat or table. Stay nearby at the Hotel Sacher, the Imperial or the Bristol, all within a short walk of the opera house. And take a few waltz lessons before you go: Vienna's dance schools run crash courses for ball season.
