Hohe Warte: where the Alps meet Vienna

Do you know the Beverly Hills of Vienna? In the fin de siècle there was no place more popular then the Hohe Warte in Döbling!

Follow me on a moving tour through a green oasis, the beginning of the Alps in the middle of Vienna!

We meet at the terminus of the underground line U4 (Heiligenstadt), easily accessible in a few minutes from downtown Vienna.

To start, we visit Karl-Marx-Hof, the longest contiguous residential building in the world and talk about the social movement and architecture of the beginning of the 20th century.

Next we move to Hohe Warte and visit the extraordinary villas of the richest and most influential personalities of the fin de siècle.

At the Beethoven monument, we shed light on the city’s unique musical history which established Vienna as a cultural metropolis.

After around 2.5 hours our tour ends in Heiligenstadt and you will learn how wine and wine taverns shape Vienna to this day.

Some of the main stops of the tour:

• Josef Hofmann’s artists colony
• former Rothschild Park – once the richest family in the world
• Hohe Warte Stadion the largest stadium in Europe of that time
• ZAMG – how the weather is made in Austria
• Japanese Garden – a hidden garden treasure in Vienna
• Tips, recommendations, things to see and do

Quality is my highest priority and therefore the tours always take place target group oriented and in a relaxed atmosphere!

Hint: bring your camera

I am looking forward to meeting you!
