Vienna · WWII HISTORY TOURS
Austria was annexed in March 1938, and Vienna was bombed heavily from 1944 onward; six flak towers still stand in three of the city’s parks. The walks below cover the Anschluss sites around Heldenplatz, the surviving air-raid architecture and the bunkers beneath the streets. Each entry states its length, its starting point and the size of the group.
WWII in Vienna on foot, with Hitler’s early years, bomb-scarred streets, the only surviving synagogue, and a Holocaust memorial, led by a guide.
“Enjoyable and hugely informative tour by Stefan - he displayed a vast subject knowledge and has a superb presentation style - excellent and well recommended”
Walk central Vienna with an English guide through Hitler-era turning points, Holocaust memorials, and sites tied to WWII destruction, ending at Schwedenplatz.
“Extremely informative and in depth. This is not a WWII walking tour; it is as described, a walking tour related to Hitler . The guide was very knowledgeable and while long, 2.5 hrs kept it interesting and moving”
Vienna goes underground for a WWII air raid shelter tour. See preserved artifacts, hear real wartime stories, and tour a hidden bunker.
“The bunker in it of itself was a terrific experience. The place was really something. Unfortunately, our guide, although really nice, wasn’t the best at explaining what we were seeing. He was all over the place with his explanations, he was looking for his words and often forgetting his storyline. He was often rambling with no logical order in his thoughts. Overall, great place, but à better guide would have made all the difference.”
Private Vienna highlights walk through WWII and postwar landmarks with hotel pickup, Belvedere views, Soviet and Holocaust stops, plus Ringstraße tram ride.
“The experience was amazing. A lot of information from the tour. The castles and landmarks are beautiful.”
