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.

— KatharinaHonestly 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.
— FlorianAfter 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.
— MaxNow those were creative puzzles — and a few of them genuinely had us stuck! Highly recommended for puzzle fans.
— HannaSuch a fun afternoon. Already up for another one.
