This self-guided audio tour takes you through Vienna's historic city center, where the entire city once stood within medieval walls. You'll explore the Imperial Palace complex including the Spanish Riding School and Habsburg Wedding Church, then dive into the heart of downtown to discover the city's past through major landmarks like St Stephen's Cathedral and the Habsburg royal burial ground. Marvel at the bronze statue of Emperor Joseph II, the strangest Habsburg emperor who believed in equality, and visit Vienna's first Holocaust memorial while learning about the city's Jewish community that was once Europe's third largest. Stroll through elegant streets where you'll hear about both the glory and darker aspects of 650 years of Habsburg rule, ending at the controversial Looshaus that shocked imperial Vienna in 1909.
