Lonely Planet review

Strauss the Younger called Praterstrasse 54 his residence from 1863 to 1878 and composed the 'Blue Danube Waltz' under its high ceilings. Inside you'll find an above-average collection of Strauss and ballroom memorabilia, including his grand piano and oil paintings from his last apartment, which was destroyed during WWII. The rooms are bedecked in period furniture. The residence is a municipal museum.
