Secret Courtyards of Central Vienna

On this romantic walk, let’s step inside some less-visited parts of the UNESCO world heritage site that is Vienna’s Inner City. Walk leader Eugene loves the cinematic qualities, and silence, of so many hidden corners in the centre of our city. We guarantee you have never seen many of these parts of Wien before. And they are beautiful lost places. Tourists focus on the same six streets up town, leaving much of central Vienna deserted. It is crazy that so many Viennese avoid the middle of our city, judging it to be Disneyland. Wrong! It is our city - and so much beauty and atmosphere can be found in these downtown places.

A second theme we will explore on this walk is one of the words of the year 2023: Overtourism. Are we experiencing this phenomenon in Vienna? How do visitors change the city? What creative solutions are authorities developing to deal with this perception of too many travellers in the centre of Vienna? What are the positive outcomes of travel?
