Tour description:
Explore the rich history of Jewish Vienna as you walk along the iconic Ringstraße, one of the city’s most famous boulevards. Our tour, “Jewish Vienna Along the Ringstraße,” takes you on a journey from the Vienna State Opera to Schottentor, revealing the deep connections between Vienna’s Jewish community and this historic boulevard.
The Ringstraße, built in the 19th century during Emperor Franz Joseph’s grand redesign of the city, became a symbol of Vienna’s growth and modernization. This boulevard not only showcases Vienna’s architectural achievements but also has a profound connection to the Jewish community. Jewish residents, many of whom were prominent entrepreneurs, bankers, and intellectuals, significantly contributed to the development and cultural life of Vienna during the Ringstraße era.
Our knowledgeable guide will lead you through this important part of Vienna, sharing stories about influential Jewish figures who contributed to the city’s economic and cultural boom during this period. As we walk along the boulevard, you will see landmarks connected to Jewish life, such as the grand palaces and institutions funded by Jewish philanthropists, and hear about the vibrant community that thrived here before the challenges of the 20th century.
