Vienna Old Town Tour

Honestly brilliant. It’s like a podcast — but for sightseeing. You listen while you’re actually looking at the place. We’ve already booked the Schönbrunn tour for tomorrow. The only thing to fault is that there are only two tours so far.

After the Kapuzinergruft (imperial crypt) puzzle I had a headache. No, kidding — it was a genuinely cool afternoon. And I’m Viennese myself, but I still learned a ton about my own city. Can only recommend it.

Now those were creative puzzles — and a few of them genuinely had us stuck! Highly recommended for puzzle fans.

Quest FAQ

Before you set off

How long does the Old Town Quest really take?
About 3 hours, depending on group size, breaks and pace. You can pause whenever you like.
Do I need any background knowledge of Vienna?
No — the puzzles are built so every clue can be found right on the spot.
Is the Quest wheelchair-accessible?
The route itself is step-free. A few landmarks aren’t fully accessible inside, but the puzzles can still be solved from the outside.
What if I get stuck on a puzzle?
Every puzzle comes with two hints. And if you’re still stumped, the solution is always one tap away — nobody gets left behind.
What do I do if the weather’s bad or I don’t finish?
A coffee break is half the fun anyway. And if the rain really won’t let up, you can pick up where you left off another day.
Can I pause the Quest 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.
