Overview

From the Middle Ages, the Jewish community in Vienna was one of Europe's largest. This 3-hour Jewish Vienna tour explores the tumultuous experiences of Vienna’s Jewish citizens through expulsion, genocide, and revival. Your historian guide will help you to discover the influential contributions of past intellectual and cultural icons and the fragile revitalization of Vienna’s Jewish community taking place today. We begin outside the Jewish City Temple before winding through the second district to the destroyed Leopoldstädter Temple. Visiting the Nestroyhof Theater with its stunning Art Nouveau exterior, once home to Yiddish-speaking ensembles, we reflect on brilliant leaders of Vienna’s intellectual, political, and economic spheres from the Jewish community: Sigmund Freud, Theodor Herzl, Karl Krauss, Franz Werfel, and Gustav Mahler. Learning of the victims and survivors of Nazi genocide, we visit destroyed Ashkenazi and Sephardic synagogues and the Judenplatz Holocaust memorial.

Itinerary

  • Infopoint Jewish Vienna

    Outside the beautiful doors of the Jewish City Temple, we consider the how the Viennese Jewish Community had to keep their synagogues barely visible from the street despite their influential role in their city's development over centuries. Few European cities have been so closely intertwined with Jewish history as Vienna. Outside this important temple, we learn of Jewish life and increasing settlement in Vienna from the Middle Ages, despite dramatic expulsions. We don't visit the interior but we recommend that you contact the synagogue to arrange a tour with their own guides, open April to October, Monday to Thursday. If you take the 11:30 AM Monday synagogue tour and then enjoy your lunch, you are in the perfect place to begin our 2:00 PM tour of Jewish Vienna. If you take the 2:00 PM synagogue tour on Tuesday and Thursdays, it will fit well after our 9:30 AM Tuesday and Thursday tour with a lunch break.

Jan was an excellent...

Published on Feb, 2025

Jan was an excellent guide! Learned so much about Vienna and the Jewish heritage. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Worthwhile investment of time and money

Published on Dec, 2024

Annellie proved to be an excellent guide through the historic Jewish quarters of Vienna. We appreciated her mix of stories - rather than bombarding us with all the horrors (so many) she mixed it up with insights of the prominent Jewish men and women of the 19th - 20th centuries. We also were able to work in a bit of insights around the movie "The Third Man". Her recommendation for a meal in Leopolstadt was spot on with Cafe Ansari. Well worth our time and the tour fee.

Excellent overview of Viennese Jewish history

Published on Dec, 2024

Annelie was extremely knowledgeable and presented things in a clear way that held our attention. She went out of her way to help us additionally with navigating the city and restaurant recommendations

Very worthwhile

Published on Oct, 2024

We were very lucky to have a guide all to ourselves for the tour and a exceptionally knowledgeable guide at that. We walked through many small streets and visited special places, such a good way to start our visit. A personal touch was I think especially good, guide had lots of family connections to the Jewish story and was a Vienesse resident, lots and lots of history developing into a full package.

super interesting tour.
