Vienna Free Walking Tour
On the day of the activity, we'll meet at the indicated time in front of the Danubius fountain in Albertinaplatz, in the heart of Vienna's historic centre. After a quick introduction, we'll begin our free walking tour of the Imperial city, delving deep into its legendary culture, history and traditions.
In a city known worldwide for its incredible music, it's only right that the first stop on our walking tour will be the Vienna State Opera, also known as the Staatsoper. The Neo-Rennaissance style building, which was bombed during World War II, is home to one of the world's best-renowned opera companies. After admiring its architecture and hearing about its history, we'll resume the tour and stroll towards St Stephen's Cathedral, or Stephansdom, whose spectacular Gothic-style spire can be seen throughout almost all of Vienna.
As we admire the diverse architectural styles that make this city so interesting, we'll make our way to its most visited monument: the Hofburg. This Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburgs for over 600 years. As you explore the different buildings that make up the historic complex, the guide will reveal interesting facts about the most influential dynasty in Europe's modern history.
Following in the footsteps of the Habsburg family, we'll then arrive at the Imperial Crypt, the final resting place of over thirty different Austrian emperors and empresses. Amongst the royal tombs, the sarcophagi of Franz Joseph I and the beloved Empress Sissi are particular highlights. Not far from the crypt, the Burggarten is located. This peaceful urban park is home to a sculpture of the most famous Austrian musician of all time: Mozart.
Continuing the free walking tour, we'll take a stroll through Vienna's Jewish Quarter, discovering the important events that took place in this historic neighbourhood. The final stop on our route will be the ancient St Rupert's Church, considered to be the oldest church in the city.
Finally, after 2 and a half hours of exploring the most charming corners of Vienna, we'll bring our walking tour to an end.
