The classics and the hidden corners of Vienna's inner city

It is not for nothing that Vienna is voted the most livable city every year, with its magnificent buildings and monuments and architecture it offers a wonderful backdrop to learn more about centuries of history.

But not only that! On our walk together I will also show you the dreamy alleys and hidden courtyards that allow us to immerse ourselves in another time. The odd funny anecdote or piquant detail rounds off the facts and simply brings you closer to the real Vienna.

2 Beethovens Spuren

In Beethoven's footsteps

Rebel, social revolutionary and rock star of his time

Born in Bonn, Ludwig van Beethoven came to Vienna for the first time at the age of 16 to stay a few years later and contribute to Vienna's fame as a city of music forever with his pioneering work.

The image of the virtuoso genius as well as the withdrawn loner sticks to him to this day. But who was the person behind the groundbreaking musical work and neglected appearance?

Accompany me on a tour through the inner city of Vienna, where we walk past Beethoven's places of residence and work and discover the revolutionary, social rebel and pop star of his time.

Strong women - the Viennese salonies:

social platform des fin de siècles

In the analog world of the 19th century, the Vienna Salon was the social “platform” of the time. This is where the world of art and literature, as well as science and the financial aristocracy, “network”.

The main driving force behind these meeting places were women from upper society. From the author and journalist Berta Zuckerkandl comes the saying: "In my salon is Austria". Whether Fanny von Arnstein, Pauline Metternich, Eugènie Schwarzwald or Alma Mahler-Werfel as salonies, the ladies cleverly and charmingly determined the intellectual and cultural life of Vienna. Invitations to their splendid salons were extremely popular.

Accompany me in the footsteps of these extraordinary women! Find out more about them and their guests, who went in and out of them and in which private places history was made.

Viennese legends

The hidden and mysterious things are often the most exciting. In old Vienna stories were told of fabulous beings, fearless men and mysterious signs.

The places where so many mysterious things are said to have happened still exist today, and the stories have survived as legends over the centuries. On our walk together we look for hidden places, discover hidden signs and even hear wondrous stories. Together we explore one or the other grain of truth that is hidden in it.

This walk is particularly suitable for families, because legends fascinate young and old!

Tour duration:

Sigmund Freud

It all began in our beautiful city, because this is where Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis and, as a pioneer, sets new standards.

Around 1900, there was an optimistic mood in Vienna in art and culture as well as in science. The theories and methods he developed are discussed and applied without interruption to this day, but they are also criticized.

Let's get in tune with the life and environment of this great pioneer on a walk along his workplaces - What shaped his environment? Where was he staying and who were his patients? - before we enter his former apartment and practice at Berggasse 19, where he lived with his family.

Otto Wagner

Modern genius

Around 1900 Vienna was the third largest city in Europe and Otto Wagner was the leading mastermind of urban development at the time. His credo: "Something impractical cannot be beautiful".

Undisputedly one of the most important representatives of Viennese Art Nouveau, as a visionary with foresight he had a lasting impact on the Viennese cityscape and, as an innovative architect, designer and urban planner, Otto Wagner was an important pioneer of Viennese modernism.

Accompany me on a walk past the monumental buildings of the Viennese Stadtbahn, but also lesser-known city palaces, and learn more about Otto Wagner and his work: from glass bathtubs, washable facades or over rivers in which city traffic still flows today.
