VIENNA’S
UTOPIAN
VISIONS
Vienna is unique in many ways but the undertakings of Vienna’s city government in the 1920s and 30s stands out. The social reforms and building projects in particular have no equal in the world. The utopia built back then is still around and tells us the story of the radical change that happened after the end of the Habsburg monarchy.
VIENNA
GETS
MOVING
Vienna could have had the first underground line in the world but no one believed in this modern approach. The city decided to keep the slow and romantic tramways for a very long time before Otto Wagner got the chance to build the first city railway and made Vienna the modern metropolis we know today.
IMPERIAL

CABINET
OF
CURIOSITIES
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is bigger than its famous Painting Gallery. At ground level you’ll find my favourite part of the musem, the so-called Cabinet of Curiosities. This unique collection brings together art and sience and presents the versatile interests of the Habsburg emperors.
THE LARGEST
SCHIELE
COLLECTION
This museum is like no other in the world since it houses the largest collection of Schiele paintings in the world. But Egon Schiele was only one of the many remarkable protagonists of the bustling art scene of Vienna around 1900. Here you will get a great feel for Vienna, also known as the hot bed of modernism.
CEMETERIES:
A VIENNESE
OBSESSION
The citizens of Vienna joke that the Grim Reaper must be Viennese and there is a grain of truth to it. Vienna’s Central Cemetery is more than a city for the dead, it is a place of comfort for the living. Here you can ‘meet’ the stars of classical music, like Beethoven, Strauss, Schubert and many more, while passing through Austria’s history.
VIENNA’S
HIDDEN
CHURCHES
Vienna offers more than the famous St. Stephen’s Cathedral and St. Charles Church. On this tour we will step into quiet chapels hidden away behind heavy old doors and discover long forgotten places of warship. Austria’s catholic heritage is present throughout the city but sometimes there is more to it than meets the eye.
