Hello, my name is Jan, I am licensed Austria Guide and I enjoy to show visitors some of the most attractive historical spots of Vienna! As I believe in „you only see what you know“, let's walk and look together at some beautiful places and talk about their history and their celebrities. The Habsburgs have been key players in Europe for 650 years and this you can still see and feel in Vienna. Small groups, interaction and my enthusiasm is what you can expect. Looking forward to meet you, to show you around and to answer your questions!
Hello,
in this "classic tour" you will see some of the most attractive historical spots of Vienna.
I wait for you (RED UMBRELLA!) at the ALBERTINA (PLEASE COME UP THE STAIRS!), next to the STATE OPERA. Walking via JOSEFSPLATZ, passing through inner court yards of the HOFBURG we reach the HELDENPLATZ. After this huge complex of representative buildings we continue to MINORITENPLATZ, FREYUNG, AM HOF, JUDENPLATZ (centre of Jewish Community in Middle Ages) and end at the HOHER MARKT with the ANKERUHR.
I limit the number of visitors to max. 15 people and look foward to guide you and your questions!
I will be waiting (RED UMBRELLA) next to the entrance to the ALBERTINA Museum (PLEASE COME UP THE STAIRS) on the BASTION of the former Vienna city wall, in front of the EQUESTRIAN STATUE of Archduke Albrecht.
Place named after Archduke Albert of Sachsen-Teschen, married to Maria Christina, daughter of empress Maria Theresia, their residence on the remains of the OLD CITY WALL and his collection of art, the ALBERTINA. View at the STATE OPERA and the MEMORIAL AGAINST WAR AND FASCISM.
One of the most charming baroque places in Vienna. The baroque STATE HALL with the former COURT LIBRARY surrounded by the Ballroom of the Habsburgs, the entrance to AUGUSTINIAN CHURCH, Palais PALFY and Palais PALLAVICINI.
The former RESIDENCE of the Habsburg dynasty and today's president of Austria. A huge COMPLEX OF REPRESENTATIVE PALACES of the Dukes, Archdukes, Kings and Queens and Emperors between the 13th and 20th century.
MINORITENCHURCH and the palaces DIETRICHSTEIN, LIECHTENSTEIN and STARHEMBERG.
Church and monastery called "at the Scots".
Place where the first Roman military base VINDOBONA used to be, later the BABENBERGS (dynasty before the Habsburgs) had here their residence. The former ARSENAL of the citizens of Vienna (Zeughaus) houses today the central fire brigade of Vienna.
Centre of the medieval JEWISH COMMUNITY in the Middle Age with museum, underground excavations (synagogue) and HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL.
The HOHE MARKT is where the former roman legion camp VINDOBONA used to be. In the centre the VERMÄHLUNGSBRUNNEN (marriage fountain) and the art nouveau ANKERUHR, designed by Franz Matsch.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
