Join me for a fun, entertaining walk through Vienna's Old Town — its palaces, churches, squares, and quiet backstreets — and discover the complete, immersive story of the city that once ruled an empire. We'll take in the grand monuments, the architecture, the hidden symbolism, and the stories most visitors never hear.
Meet the Habsburgs, the family who tried to conquer the world — not by war, but by marriage. It worked brilliantly, until they started marrying their own cousins one too many times and turned inbreeding into a family tradition. Still, they held on for six centuries, and their old capital stands today as one giant monument to their reign. Their story is pure soap opera, and I love telling it.
I'll share the same passion for this city that brought me here in the first place. I came to Vienna for its history — I stayed for everything else. Walk these streets with me, and you'll understand why.

Flanked by the two impressive twin museums, Natural and Art History, stands a memorial to one of the most important Habsburg rulers: Maria Theresia. Under her rule Austria began its long enlightened modernization process which ultimately led the centralized state and the rise of a new middle class,: the bureaucrats. Her tale is one of overcoming challenges and successfully strengthening the Habsburg rule in Europe.

The spiritual and geographical heart of Vienna is the great St. Stephen's Cathedral. It's construction spans many decades and different styles. The story of its post war reconstruction is one of a positive and co operational spirit and reflects a people torn by war, but eager to come together for a successful future for both people and nation.
Church of the Jesuits
10 min
This is one of the finest but least visited baroque church in Vienna. There is no better place to immerse oneself with the incredibly flamboyant Austrian baroque.
Stadtpark
15 min
Hugging the southern part of the great Ringstrasse boulevard of Vienna lies an elegant park dedicated to the many painters, musicians and politicians of Vienna's golden age. We escape the narrow streets of the old town to get a respite in this fresh and lush green space.
Graben and Kohlmarkt
10 min
These are the high end shopping streets of Vienna's old town. Dominated by famous luxurious brands and coffee houses these streets offer shopping like no other place in Vienna.
Graben street is particularly interesting due to the impressive baroque plague column that commemorates the surviving of a devastating plague that raged across the country at the end of the 17th century.
