Description

The magical, mostly unknown, Greek Quarter in Vienna is closely linked to the history of Vienna: here gave Augustin hope to the people, hope to survive the plague, here was prepared the way to Greek independence, here were printed books very early and here were born wonderful legends about alchemists, the scientists of the Middle Ages. Well known musicians made music here, and their patrons lived also here and donated to them a lot of money. The oldest residential tower in Vienna is also located here. Our walk takes us through mysterious legends and a mixture of very old and new architecture, You will definitely enjoy it: At Fleischmarkt we admire beautiful Art Nouveau buildings that are mostly unknown to tourists and discover their connections with the first printing houses in Vienna and with legends. Griechengasse amazes us with its history as a border area on the Danube. Schönlaterngasse tells us legends and Lugeck connects the history of Vienna's printing press with historical facts from the beginning of the Habsburg monarchy and with exciting legends.
