Vienna: Old Town Tour – How Vienna Became Vienna｜Austria

How did a Roman military camp become the city of the Habsburgs, Mozart, coffee houses, and world-famous museums?

On this walking tour through Vienna's Old Town, we follow the development of Vienna over almost two millennia. At each stop, we will discover how different eras, rulers, and ideas have changed the face of the city.

We will see the traces of the Roman Vindobona, the Stephansdom, which witnessed the birth of the medieval city, the Plague Column as a sign of a turbulent history, and the Hofburg as the center of the Habsburg monarchy. Passing the Vienna State Opera and the Albertina, you will learn why music, art, and culture still shape the essence of Vienna today.

This tour not only tells the story of what happened, but above all how each era made Vienna the city we know today.
