Your guide - Alan Mueller - will share with you the many insights into the Jewish presence in Vienna; from the terrorizing and horrible to the impressive commercial and cultural contributions of the accomplished and wealthy. As an American who has lived in Vienna for 40 years, Alan is impartial and welcomes inquiries from guests, even of a sensitive nature. The Jewish Heritage Walking Tour also is appropriate for those who wish to have an introduction to historic Vienna's city center.

Pass by the Jewish Museum in the Dorotheergasse, to the Monument Against War and Fascism. Heldenplatz (Heroes Square) - the venue where Adolf Hitler proclaimed Austria as part of the Third Reich. Palais Ephrussi, site of one of Vienna's most prominent Jewish families - highlighted in the book "The Hare with Amber Eyes. " Vienna's 2nd District, home to many East European Jewish migrants in the late 19th century, and Vienna's traditional entertainment district. The Temple, the only Jewish Synagogue not to be destroyed during the Kristallnacht. Visit the Memorial to the Victims of the Gestapo (Secret State Police) at the site of the former Hotel Metropol, which was confiscated and used by the Gestapo as its headquarters in Vienna.

This is a Walking Tour, however there are two important venues only accessible on public transportation. Thus, there is a nominal extra expense for public transit tickets. Most travellers opt for a day pass allowing them the opportunity to explore Vienna on their own, especially after receiving an introduction to Vienna, and the convenience of using public transit from your guide.
