Jewish Quarter Walk Duration: 3 hours Walk through Jewish Quarter Important Landmarks Modern Day Jewish Life Old Jewish Quarter in Judenplatz Oldest Viennese Synagogue – Outside visit
Delve into Vienna’s complex history during a 2.5-hour walking tour that uncovers the city’s ties to the Nazi regime and Hitler’s early life. Guided by a certified expert, this tour takes you through hidden alleys and quiet streets, revealing a lesser-known narrative of Austria’s past. Gain insight into the roots of antisemitism and the impact of Nazi terror on over 65,000 Austrian Jews. This reflective journey also highlights Austria’s ongoing efforts to confront and remember its historical atrocities, making it a thought-provoking experience for those interested in cultural heritage and memory.
Join a guided walking tour highlighting the exteriors of Vienna’s key landmarks without entering any museums. Explore the city with an experienced local guide. Begin the tour at the historic Minoriten Church, where you'll see a mosaic of The Last Supper. Then, visit notable sites such as Michaelerplatz, the entrance to Hofburg Palace. Continue to Heldenplatz and the Spanish Riding School while learning about Vienna's imperial history and traditions. Pass by the Albertina Museum and the Vienna State Opera, significant to the city’s musical heritage. Conclude your tour at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, known for its Gothic architecture.
During the tour, you will visit the spots in Vienna most affected by the events of World War II and learn about the political circumstances of Hitler's rise to power. With your guide, you'll trace the development of the way, visit the sites of attacks that destroyed much of Vienna, and hear about the monument to the Red Army which still stands today. You'll also see the only Viennese synagogue that remained standing after the war and learn about what happened to one of the largest Jewish communities in the world at the time.
Enjoy an exciting day full of fun and action across four different theme worlds – the Experience Castle, the Fairy Tale Forest, the Farm, and Adventure Island. Go wild on the many rides, water games and experience zones, or relax in the idyllic park landscapes featuring flower beds, tiny creeks, and fantastically-shaped trees. And it's all just a a few miles away from Lake Neusiedl! On an area of 14 hectares, with more than 30 rides, playgrounds and climbing facilities, Familypark provide entertainment and create lasting memories, even at company events. A special highlight is the "Biberburg" wild water course. Here, you can enjoy a rapid ride in a tree trunk, past funny beaver scenes, before an open lift takes you up to a height of 17 meters. From there, you'll whiz down at 60 km/h into a giant splash!
See the sights of beautiful Vienna by means of a unique mode of transport – a segway! Contrasted with the historical backdrop of inner city Vienna, you'll zip around on a new-age segway in style. Cruise past the city's landmarks, including the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Art History, both renowned cultural institutions. Scoot by the Hofburg, the former imperial palace of the Hapsburg monarchy and the current residence of the Austrian president. Make your way to Stadtpark, next to Ring Street, to see famous statues of famous Viennese residents, including Strauss.
