From the Middle Ages, the Jewish community in Vienna was one of Europe's largest. This 3-hour Jewish Vienna tour explores the tumultuous experiences of Vienna’s Jewish citizens through expulsion, genocide, and revival. Your historian guide will help you to discover the influential contributions of past intellectual and cultural icons and the fragile revitalization of Vienna’s Jewish community taking place today. We begin outside the Jewish City Temple before winding through the second district to the destroyed Leopoldstädter Temple. Visiting the Nestroyhof Theater with its stunning Art Nouveau exterior, once home to Yiddish-speaking ensembles, we reflect on brilliant leaders of Vienna’s intellectual, political, and economic spheres from the Jewish community: Sigmund Freud, Theodor Herzl, Karl Krauss, Franz Werfel, and Gustav Mahler. Learning of the victims and survivors of Nazi genocide, we visit destroyed Ashkenazi and Sephardic synagogues and the Judenplatz Holocaust memorial.

  • Stadttempel Synagogue, Vienna, Austria
    Outside the beautiful doors of the Jewish City Temple, we consider the how the Viennese Jewish Community had to keep their synagogues barely visible from the street despite their influential role in their city's development over centuries. Few European cities have been so closely intertwined with Jewish history as Vienna. Outside this important temple, we learn of Jewish life and increasing settlement in Vienna from the Middle Ages, despite dramatic expulsions. We don't visit the interior but we recommend that you contact the synagogue to arrange a tour with their own guides, open April to October, Monday to Thursday. If you take the 11:30 AM Monday synagogue tour and then enjoy your lunch, you are in the perfect place to begin our 2:00 PM tour of Jewish Vienna. If you take the 2:00 PM synagogue tour on Tuesday and Thursdays, it will fit well after our 9:30 AM Tuesday and Thursday tour with a lunch break.

We were very lucky to have a guide all to ourselves for the tour and a exceptionally knowledgeable guide at that. We walked through many small streets and visited special places, such a good way to start our visit. A personal touch was I think especially good, guide had lots of family connections to the Jewish story and was a Vienesse resident, lots and lots of history developing into a full package.

This was an exceptional tour and Jan was absolutely wonderful. I've been on tours all over the world and Jan was the best tour guide I ever had. He is kind, warm, exceptionally knowledgeable and beyond his wonderful personality and knowledge, his ability to tell stories and explain history in a compelling and engaging manner enables exceptional retention. We learned a great deal and had an amazing time. We will be telling all our friends to seek out Jan and WeGuideVienna for their tours. Thanks Jan! You are awesome!
