The fortified Vienna: remaining bastions, secret corrridors and anecdotes of the sieges of Vienna along the river Vienna and Danube
Vienna has been surrounded more than 600 years by bastions and walls. This walking tour shows you the remaining walls and the construction of palaces and gardens along the former fortifications along the Vienna and Danube river. We follow monuments and secret corridors of the defenders in old wine cellars and listen anecdotes about the sieges of hungarians, turcs, kuruzzes, french and others. We go throuh the town park and see the former Glacis area and end our tour with the last battle in Vienna in April 1945.
