Austria · VIENNA CELLARS & GHOST WALKS
21 reviewed
There is a second Vienna beneath the first: medieval cellars, plague-era passages, the Kaisergruft coffins and the sewers that made a film famous. The walks that get you underground, strongest first, noting how much of each route genuinely sits below street level, how many steps that costs you, and which guides tell it straight instead of playing it for scares.

Boat in Vienna Woods underground lake, outside Lichtenstein Castle, and a cozy wine tasting with three local wines, in 4 hours.
“Our guide Tara’s was very knowledgeable. It was a lovely tour, the Lichtenstein palace was cool, the underground mine/groto was really interesting, and the wine tasting was a great way to cap off the trip. It was all packed into 4 hours. I’d recommend bringing a long sleeve shirt because it’s cold in the mine (40 degrees). Highly recommend.”

Vienna WWII bunker tour for $35, guided by German, with a well-preserved air raid shelter, artifacts, and candlelit atmosphere.
“The bunker in it of itself was a terrific experience. The place was really something. Unfortunately, our guide, although really nice, wasn’t the best at explaining what we were seeing. He was all over the place with his explanations, he was looking for his words and often forgetting his storyline. He was often rambling with no logical order in his thoughts. Overall, great place, but à better guide would have made all the difference.”
