About 2000 years ago the Romans came to the place we now call Vienna. And then they never left. Well, the Roman Empire may have collapsed, but its heritage can still be found all over the city. On this tour we will follow the traces left by the Roman settlement. Parts of their buildings are still here, as ruins or as parts of other buildings. Others may have flowers at the centre of their roundabouts - we have Roman ruins! But the Romans left more behind than just their abandoned homes. Their whole culture influenced what came afterwards, as you can see when you are standing in front of the parliament and recognize the last-but-one Habsburg emperor, Franz Joseph I, dressed as a Roman emperor. On this tour you will learn how the Habsburg monarchs saw themselves as the successors of the Roman emperors, how that believe shaped the city of Vienna and Austria as a whole and why emperor Marc Aurel thought this was a place to die for (well, at least he died in this area).
Starting point: in front of the parliament We will then continue towards the Hofburg and from there walk towards the Michaelerplatz. Then we will follow the old outlines of the military camp and end the tour at the Hoher Markt in front of the Roman museum.
