Description
Embark on a 2.5-hour walking tour through Vienna’s Old Town that traces 800 years of Jewish history and examines the impact of Nazi terror. Led by a certified guide, you will explore quiet streets and hidden alleys away from the busy paths, discovering a lesser-known side of Austria’s capital. The tour provides insight into the cultural and historical roots of antisemitism and its devastating consequences for more than 65,000 Austrian Jews during the Nazi era. The walk highlights locations connected to Nazi persecution and reflects on Vienna around 1900, a period in which a struggling, untalented artist arrived in the city and developed a deep resentment that would later have fatal consequences. Throughout the walk, the tour also looks at how Austria has dealt with its dark past and how this process continues today.Includes
