Vienna: “Walzer König Strauss” Tours – Historical Walking Tours｜Austria

On both guided historical Strauss walks, you will learn about the composer's life and the historical context of the creation of the waltz and the Danube Waltz, as well as about the history of Vienna and the sights we will see along the way.
Description of the Prater option:
The exterior of Johann Strauß's most important apartment, where he composed the famous Blue Danube Waltz.
If you would like to learn more about it, we can take the elevator to the first floor, where Johann Strauß's apartment is located. Today, part of this apartment is the Museum of the City of Vienna and costs an additional €5 (unfortunately, it is closed on Mondays). Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Alternatively, you can visit the apartment on your own at another time.
Afterwards, we will either walk to the Prater-Hauptallee or take the U1 metro for one stop to Praterstern.
The highlight of our walk is learning about the musical history of the coffee houses along the Prater-Hauptallee, all the way to the Kaiser-Wiese.
Afterward, we will walk back along Hauptallee and end our tour at the Ferris wheel, or we can take the metro to Schwedenplatz.
We will then walk a few more steps along the Danube Canal to the square where the Diana Bath used to be. Here, in winter, Strauss would perform for Viennese people who were enthusiastic about dancing.
You can choose the end location yourself (Prater or Schwedenplatz in the First District), depending on the weather and your interests.
Description of the Strauss option in the First District:
We will walk from the Johann Strauss statue (Stadtpark) through the historical center (including: Redoutensäle from the outside, Hofburg, Volksgarten, Burgtheater from the outside, Burgtheater).
