Overview

Immerse yourself in the City of Music to explore its rich history and how Vienna continues to develop entirely new approaches to composition, propelling innovation in music alongside traditionalism – to dramatic effect.

On your private walking tour, you will see Vienna’s most important cultural and political sites, including City Hall Square, Heroes’ Square, St Stephen’s cathedral, and Mozart’s House. You will walk through the old Jewish District, and learn stories about the city’s history during World War II.
