Ringstrasse
The Ringstrasse ushered in one of the most productive building eras in Vienna’s history. Here you’ll discover how the monumental palaces along the boulevard came to be — and the stories they hide: how Emperor Franz Joseph may have had a hand in an opera architect’s death, why statues of eight of Vienna’s most important figures were mocked by locals as ‘chimney sweeps’, and how the birth of the First Republic was overshadowed by an accidental gunshot.

Tour FAQ
Before you set off
How long does the Tour really take?
About 45 minutes of audio in total. With a relaxed stroll along the boulevard, breaks and a few photo stops, expect to be out for 1.5–2.5 hours — entirely at your own pace.
Can I walk the Tour in either direction?
Yes — just tap the direction arrow at the top. Start and end swap, and the stops play in reverse order. Handy if you happen to be nearer the University and don’t fancy walking down to the State Opera first.
What about rain?
A coffee-house break is practically part of the Vienna experience. And if the rain really won’t let up, you can pick up where you left off another day.
Can I pause the Tour and continue later?
Yes — once you start, you’ve got 7 days of access from the same device.
Is there a group discount for more than 6 people?
One code covers up to 6 people. For bigger groups (school classes, company outings, family parties), get in touch — we’ll sort something out.
