  • Entrance fee
  • Tips

No. Due to the prevailing circumstances, the tour is only suitable for people without restrictions.

Since the corridors were closed after the Second World War, it is not possible to run the entire time underground in the 1st district. In the 1.5h hour variant, however, you are completely in a basement (except for the introduction) below the earth.

During our tour we illuminate not the Vienna CanalOr classic bunkers. Instead, we’ll take you through private, multi-storey basements in the Inner City steeped in centuries of history. These cellars are filled to the top with fascinating stories. Some served as hiding places for people during World War II air strikes, and there are many other purposes we will explore together during the tour.
