Welcome to Vienna

Uncover Vienna – City Walks with a Twist

Mag. Karl Zillinger

Mag. Karl Zillinger

Follow me on the footsteps of the emperors of the Habsburg family, noblemen and the citizens of Vienna. Discover the narrow streets of the medieval city and the unknown Vienna. As a historian and teacher I explain history, art and music considering all aspects of politics, religions, economics and social affairs. Each guided tour lets you feel the atmosphere of the old medieval city or the antique Roman town Vindobona or the multiethnic melting pot of the capital of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Such a guided tour with my typical Viennese sense of humour and my anecdotes is a unique experience for your stay in Vienna - for adults as well as for children and seniors. I am looking forward to seeing you at my next guided tour. See you soon!
