Audio Tour of Medieval Vienna

After booking your Audio Tour of Medieval Vienna, you will receive instructions for downloading the audio guide to an iPod or MP3, and will also be able to download a handy map of the route.

The map will show you the starting point of the tour, close to the celebrated Opera House and the Sacher Hotel, home of the celebrated Sachertorte chocolate cake. The route then leads you past some of Vienna's most remarkable and beautiful churches.

During the 7 km (4.2 miles) walking tour, you will discover the place where Mozart wrote The Magic Flute and find out why it possibly cost him his life. The route also takes you to the grand cathedral, the Stephansdom, where you’ll learn the meaning of the mysterious '05' carved into its walls.

You’ll hear the story of the tragic Mayerling affair and find out how to locate the Roman ruins in the ancient Hoher Markt.

Later, the audio guide will take you to the Judensplatz where you'll hear about the moving but controversial new monument to Vienna's Holocaust victims before seeing the world's most luxurious fire station!

Your audio tour includes 1 hour of commentary but you can linger longer in places you like.
