Our tour stops include:

  • Secession: This modernist building was designed by architect Joseph Maria Olbrich and is home to Gustav Klimt's famous "Beethoven Frieze." It was also used by the Nazis as an exhibition hall for their propaganda.

Nuestro gurú Josef explicó muy bien toda la información que quería transmitir, si es verdad que si buscas un tour en el que se hable específicamente de Hitler no va a ser este tour ya que en el, solamente hablan unas 3 veces de Hitler y un poco de forma tangencial. Pero si te quieres enterar de la situación sociopolitica y económica de Austria en el siglo XIX y XX, este es tu tour ya que es excelente y Josef es un gran historiador. Muchas gracias Josef por enseñarnos un trocito de Viena.

Christina was a great guide. She clearly knew the subject and by the time we were done we felt we had a much better understanding of Vienna leading up to both World Wars and the aftermath. Well worth the time.
