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.

Outstanding experience - Highly recommend it

Published on Sep, 2023

Our guide was well prepared complete with photos and videos about the historical significance of the sites we viewed. Her perspectives and knowledge were invaluable to bring the history to life. We highly recommend her.

Thorough, Engaging and Informative Tour of Jewish Vienna

Published on Apr, 2023

My wife and I took our walking tour of Jewish Vienna with Annelie together with our children, ages 21 and 26. Annelie was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, and she kept us all engaged the entire time. She used a microphone that fed into the ear-phones she provided us, which ensured that we were able to hear and understand her despite any traffic or other noise around us. We covered a lot of ground, both historically and geographically, taking public transportation out of the Inner City into the neighboring Second District. As an adjunct to her walking tour, she also brought visual aids, a book that included maps, paintings, woodcuts and photographs of the people, places and events that shaped Jewish Viennese history from medieval times through the Shoah to the present, as well as I-Pad three-dimensional visuals of old Vienna streets and houses. All in all, this tour is the one against which we will compare all other tours in the future. A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience!

Jewish Vienna , Early 13 th century history, Kristallnacht and the Holocaust, and now.

Annalie certainly knew her Vienna Jewish history. She gave us a quick overview at the hotel and then we proceeded to the underground train, me on my scooter and my husband on foot. We visited an old Orthadox schul guarded by police, but did not enter. We learned history of early Jewish settlers in Vienna. I bounced along the cobblestone streets and hills finding out about these early settlers and their accomplishments and their wives who entertained dukes and other nobles. We also saw a moving WW2 monument in the shape of a b library with books shelves backwards to remember those who would have no life to recall and write about. We were led to a small shop for a warm drink and ended in a grand salon for a snack worthy of our learning that day.

Exceeded my very high expectations

Published on Jul, 2022

The tour with Annelie exceeded all of our expectations. She met my family and me at our hotel and gave us earpieces so that we could all hear her clearly throughout. Annelie was incredibly knowledgeable, and she tailored the tour and her remarks to keep everyone fully engaged. She had a useful binder with photos and drawings and an iPad with short vignettes to bring more of the history to life. She also honored the fact that this was a special trip for us because I wanted to see the neighborhood where my grandparents lived, which was coincidentally and conveniently near Annelie’s home. Her familiarity with the neighborhood (which would be part of the regular tour since it’s the 2nd district) made the tour even more personal. She then recommended and dropped us off at a truly local Italian restaurant (what my two teenage sons requested!) after introducing us to the staff at the restaurant. I had really high hopes and expectations for the tour because it was such an important, personal occasion and, again, they were all exceeded. Annelie made the visit even more memorable. I cannot recommend the tour more highly.

Annelie was a terrific guide with lots of interesting stories and clearly knows Vienna and Austrian history very well. My fiancee and I had a great time with her and would highly recommend Annelie to anyone visiting Vienna
