Overview

This walk brings you through all four historic quarters of Vienna's old town. Experience over a thousand years of history and stroll through hidden alleys right behind the main sights. See more than just the usual tourist streets, walk through hidden alleys and historic inner yards. This walk will combine the roman and medieval Vienna, the imperial glory under the Habsburgs, the (also quite literally) dark years in the 20th century and also will let you experience modern Vienna, that is once again the city in the very heart of Europe. It will not just be a dry line of numbers and information, instead I will show you also the funny side of Vienna's history and the absurdities this old town hast to offer. Can't hurt having a laugh. After all you are not on a school trip. If you happen to book this tour as part of a school trip then we will adjust :)

Itinerary

St. Stephen's Cathedral

Start and end point of our walk will be the almost 900 year old cathedral in the very center of the old town . From here we will start our walk theough the old town of Vienna. The cathedral is considered to be the very center of Vienna and also her main sight. So it only makes sense to take Saint Stephen's cathedral as the Controller point of our walk.

10 minutes
Neuer Markt

The very old "New Market" square. Actually the second oldest marlet square but nobody ever bothered to come up with a new name in the last 800 years.

5 minutes
Albertinaplatz

The square with the memorial against war and fascism in between the State Opera building and the Hofburg, the old imperial palace. Also the famous Hotel Sacher and the Cafe Mozart can be found right there.

10 minutes
The Hofburg

The old imperial residence that was built over the course of 700 years. Stroll through it's inner yards, each built in a different era. We will pass by the statues to the emperors Joseph II and Francis II/I. I will tell you about his strenge name there.... if we are lucky we might also see some of the world famous Lipizzaner horses.

15 minutes
Graben and Kohlmarkt

Two of Vienna's most famous and lively streets where you find expensive shops, the cafe Demel and also the Plaque Monument. Actually in that order.

15 minutes
Kurrentgasse

One of the last remaining baroque streets. It feels a bit like time travelling strolling through this old and narrow alley.

5 minutes
Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial

The center of Vienna's medieval jewish community. One of the most history loaded squares in the Old Town. Nowadays one of the jewish Museums of Vienna can be found on this square and also the holocaust memorial.

20 minutes
Hoher Markt

Used to be the main market square of Vienna and the center of the ancient roman garrison. Also a popular location for executions. In medieval times that is of course.

15 minutes
St. Rupert's Church (Ruprechtskirche)

Oldest still standing church in Vienna and arguably the oldest area of the town. Also the center of Viennas nightlife, if you are interested in such things.

10 minutes
Griechengasse

The "greek quarter" of Vienna with some of the oldest taverns. You might find reminders of the Dear Augustin there. By the time you will also know who that was.

10 minutes
Wollzeile

The old University district with some of the most famous viennese coffee houses.

20 minutes
Deutschordenskirche

The headquarters of the legendary teuronic order, where you can sense a bit of crusader history in the very heart of the City before we head back to the cathedral which happens to be right behind it.

10 minutes
St. Stephen's Cathedral

Back where we started from. Hopefully with a much better understanding of Vienna as before.

5 minutes
