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.

Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

Your private tour includes a pick-up at your central hotel or flat. If need be, your guide leads you by public transport to the tour sites. We don't include metro/tram tickets but your guide helps you purchase them if you don't have a Vienna Pass. If you prefer a meeting point, the tour begins at Jewish City Temple (Stadttempel) Seitenstettengasse 4, 1010 Wien.

  • 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 did not think the tour guide had either a deep feeling or knowledge ior Jewish culture in Vienna—the topic of our tour. We learned much more by ourselves in an hour on the fourth floor of the Leopold museum. The guide was well meaning and earnest (and amiable) but we didn’t think he was qualified to give that particular tour.

Our guide was well prepared complete with photos and videos about the historical significance of the sites we viewed. Her perspectives and knowledge were invaluable to bring the history to life. We highly recommend her.

My wife and I took our walking tour of Jewish Vienna with Annelie together with our children, ages 21 and 26. Annelie was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, and she kept us all engaged the entire time. She used a microphone that fed into the ear-phones she provided us, which ensured that we were able to hear and understand her despite any traffic or other noise around us. We covered a lot of ground, both historically and geographically, taking public transportation out of the Inner City into the neighboring Second District. As an adjunct to her walking tour, she also brought visual aids, a book that included maps, paintings, woodcuts and photographs of the people, places and events that shaped Jewish Viennese history from medieval times through the Shoah to the present, as well as I-Pad three-dimensional visuals of old Vienna streets and houses. All in all, this tour is the one against which we will compare all other tours in the future. A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience!
