Itinerary
St. Rupert's Church (Ruprechtskirche)
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSt Rupert’s Church is 13 centuries-old and is made from stone taken from an ancient Roman settlement. Home to the oldest stained-glass window and the oldest bells in Vienna, the church is dedicated to St. Rupert of Salzburg, the patron saint of the Danube's salt merchants. Though the church went through several renovations, one window, which depicts Christ on the cross with the Madonna and Child standing below, has been standing since the 13th century in the vaulted apse. The church houses a series of atmospheric concerts of ancient music in the summertime, with evening performances in July. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to a question to advance to the new location and learn the story of this cafe. It's fun. You will love it:)Griechenbeisl
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe tavern Griechenbeisl is one iconic musical landmark, because Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert dined here at one point. You could check out the framed signatures of the famous persons who have been served in this place by visiting the Mark Twain room (celebrities also include Luciano Pavarotti and Johnny Cash). Situated near the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, the restaurant is one of the oldest in Vienna and got its name (‘Greek Inn’) from the Greek tradesmen and the Levant travelers who settled in that area.

5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOne peculiar and incredibly old mural to check out can be found on Bäckerstrasse, a street with charming interior courtyards. In the 15th century, many houses presented religious and historic portraiture, but some were decorated with humorous imagery. Found on the façade of the Hasenaus (“Hare House”), the mural shows a wolf and a cow that wears spectacles playing a game of backgammon. Some say the scene is actually part of a previous painting depicting medieval life, while others think that the mural is an allegory for the conflict between Protestants and Catholics.Figlmüller Bäckerstraße(Pass by)

The mid-section of this Medieval tree trunk stands on a 1.5-meter high pedestal and is surrounded by an iron ring with a lock dummy.

The mosaics showcase the image of a double-headed eagle, which was the symbol of the Austrian empire during Habsburgs’ rule. The other two eagles, on the north side of the roof, each carry coats of arms that represent the City of Vienna and the Republic of Austria. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to a question/challenge/puzzle to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.Café Frauenhuber(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeA stop at Café Frauenhuber on Rauhensteingasse will give you a taste of the Viennese coffeehouse culture.

Mozart and L. van Beethoven play table music for the dining guests several times between 1782–1791. With a past reputation of one of the most peaceful coffeehouses in Vienna, Frauenhuber still preserves the atmosphere of a traditional Viennese coffee shop.Albertina

10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedThe current home and workplace of the President of Austria, the Hofburg Palace has been the heart of power in Vienna since the 13th century.
