With a Master’s degree in Art History and Cultural Studies, I am a Vienna-based guide specializing in the city’s rich cultural heritage and its pivotal role in shaping modernism. My particular interests lie in Vienna around 1900 and the intellectual world of Sigmund Freud, an era that continues to influence how we think, create, and experience art today. Having grown up in Vienna, I know the city intimately: its museums, hidden corners, traditions, music, and culinary culture. I offer a range of carefully curated tours, including Gustav Klimt and Secession, Freud and psychoanalysis, musical Vienna, and bespoke food experiences. Whether exploring world-famous masterpieces or lesser-known stories, I aim to provide depth, context, and a genuine connection to the city. Vienna is layered, complex, and full of surprises, and I am delighted to share it with you.

Where melodies tell the story of a city
Overview of your Vienna tour
Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Mahler, and Schoenberg, just a few of the composers who shaped Vienna into the world capital of classical music. On this tour, discover Vienna’s rich musical history and why it still resonates today. We begin at the Vienna State Opera, exploring its central role in the city’s cultural life. From there, we continue to the Winter Palace, where we examine the influence of the Catholic Church and the imperial court as key patrons, supporting composers such as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. Beyond the great names, you will uncover hidden locations and traces of early musical modernism. As a Vienna-born art historian, I combine expertise with a personal perspective—revealing how deeply music still shapes the city’s identity today.
