ABOUT THE Free Tour of Vienna

This tour is operated by our partner Prime Tours Vienna

 

On this 2-hour free tour you’ll explore the old town of Vienna and discover the stunning highlights of this iconic city. Join your local, licensed guide as they lead you on a cultural and historical journey through the heart of the city and share the fascinating stories that make Vienna unique.

 

The Free Tour of Vienna starts at Helmut Zilk-Platz and ends near St. Stephen's Cathedral. 

 

The Heart of the Habsburg Empire

As the residence of the Habsburg dynasty from the 15th century onwards, royal palaces and gardens are in abundance in Vienna. Admire the beauty of the Albertina before strolling through the delightful Burggarten, the palace gardens that lead to the Hofburg, the imperial residence of the Habsburgs. Hear about this extraordinary family and their legacy as you wander with your guide through squares and courtyards surrounding the palace complex, and learn about the final resting place of many of the family at the Kaisergruft, or Imperial Crypt.

Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven

Vienna’s list of musical residents is a long and impressive one. It was in Vienna that Mozart and Beethoven spent some of their most productive years, and the melodies of Strauss’s Vienna waltzes will be familiar to every visitor to the city. Marvel at the beautiful, world-famous Vienna State Opera and imagine waltzing to the Blue Danube at the annual Opera Ball, before making a compulsory stop outside the Mozart House. Wrap up the tour near the magnificent St. Stephen’s cathedral - maybe you’ll hear the belfry bells that famously, Beethoven could not!
