What to expect

On this walking tour in Vienna, you'll see where it all began! How did an Austrian postcard painter turn into the world’s most hated man? Where could Hitler and Stalin have met? See the scars of World War II and the remains of the divided city. Take a deeper look into the darkest days of Vienna’s history.

The walk will begin in front of the Albertina museum, next to the State Opera House (Staatsoper). On this walking tour, you will gain insight into what, where and why it all happened. Find out what and who influenced the young Adolf Hitler’s mind, see and hear the impact of 53 bomb attacks on the city, learn what happened to the once enormous Jewish community, visit the only Synagogue that would survive the Nazi regime and visit the Holocaust memorial.

On this tour, you'll learn how Vienna was divided after the war, why it was the only city in the world where the Allied Powers managed a zone together, and why the Heroes' Monument of the Red Army remains in the city to this day. After this tour, you will certainly gain profound insights into the darkest days of history.

    Travelled as a couple


    Über die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde wenig berichtet. Es wurde völlig planlos, unorganisiert das Leben Hitlers dargestellt, in der Geschichte hin und her gesprungen, mal im Mittelalter, mal im 19. Jahrhundert, es wurde versucht Antisemitismus zu erklären, aber sehr schlecht, was in Wien wo los war ab 1938 bis 1945, kam nicht wirklich zur Sprache, die Orte, wo die Verbrechen stattfanden, wurden nicht genannt, eine völlig chaotische Führung.
