| Vienna in the Footsteps of the Third Man | |||||||||||||
 |
The quintessential tour for film buffs! 60 years after his death in the sewers of Vienna, Orson Welles's Harry Lime still haunts the city. The scars of the war have long disappeared but almost all the locations of Carol Reed's film noir classic have remained unchanged. On this exciting illustrated tour follow us through the cobbled lanes and hidden courtyards of Old Vienna that inspired author Graham Greene and Carol Reed, see the places where Harry Lime lived, appeared and disappeared, learn the fascinating story of how one of the all-time greatest films was made and what Vienna was like in the days of Allied occupation, Cold War espionage and the black market. And of course there is that famous zither music.... Recommended by 'Time Out' and other major Vienna guide books.
