Private Jewish Walking Tour

€270/group

2 - 2,5 Hours 1-20 People Leisurely Walking Pace

Learn all about Vienna's fascinating Jewish community!

The Jewish community of Vienna is a culture rich in history and goes back hundreds of years— from the first Jewish person in Austria, Salomon also known as Schlom, to the artists, doctors and scientists who shaped Viennese culture in 1900, to the Holocaust, to the present-day Jewish community in Vienna; Vienna would not be what it is today without its Jewish community. Our Jewish Walking Tour emphasizes the intellectual, cultural and artistic flowerings of this remarkable community, as well as the dark periods wherein this community was banished from Vienna. Stops include: • University of Vienna • Sigmund Freud’s favorite café, Café Landtmann • Palais Ephrussi • Seitenstettengasse Synagogue • Judenplatz • Joseph’s Square • Memorial against War and Fascism • Vienna State Opera and many more! *We are also happy to accept larger groups! For groups larger than 20 people, please contact us directly.

The guide, Hernando, was everything one would want in a guide, and more. He was so interesting and witty in a general tour, that we asked him about what additional specialized tours he might offer. I don't recall ever asking another guide this question! In addition to being informative, with historical context, and witty, he showed sensitivity in a way I also don't recall seeing it in any guide. When he came to a plaque illustrating anti-Semitism, he offered NOT translating it from the Latin if it would offend our sensibilities, but we wanted the information anyway. History is learning about the good and the bad, but some evil is so horrifying that some people just can't stomach it, and our guide was sensitive enough to recognize this and to give people who didn't want to hear the evil words the opportunity to be shielded from them.
