Vienna is known for its classical music scene, which you can take part in for an amazingly cheap price. You may have heard that on the day of a performance, you can get ridiculously discounted student tickets in the standing room section (I saw Puccini's Tosca for four Euros!), but you probably haven't heard of the golden scarf rule. It's quite easy - just bring a scarf with you to the opera, find a good spot in the standing room section (it's first come, first serve), and wrap your scarf on the banister to mark your territory. Voila! You've officially carved out your spot for the rest of the night - now you're free to wander around the opera house to your heart's content.
