Vienna: The 15 Best WWII & Jewish History Tours

21 reviewed

Vienna was the city Hitler learned politics in, and the city from which more than 65,000 Jewish residents were deported. The tours below cover that history on the ground: the Judenplatz memorial and the city synagogue, the Leopoldstadt streets, the Flakturm above Augarten, and the day trip that runs out to the Mauthausen memorial. Each entry shows the hours, the party size and the fee. The Mauthausen visits are memorial visits rather than sightseeing, and they run to a quieter format.

1.Vienna: World War II Historical Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,772 reviews · 2h 30m · from $31Our pick

Vienna’s WWII historical walking tour links Hitler’s early years, bomb damage, and Holocaust memory to the city’s postwar division, guided live.

“Our guide, Wolfgang, was extremely knowledgeable. He didn't just reel off facts but put them in context and offered his interpretation of events, linking and evaluating the importance of different aspects. I have taught the period of history this your covers but learned a new perspective from this tour. Really excellent. The headpieces made it easy to facilitate a large group walking around city streets and were as technically easy as they can possibly be.”

“Everything was very good, except for the German guide who showed up late. They would not start the English tour until the German tour got going (both are scheduled for 10am). We were told to be at the Synagogue 15 minutes early yet the tour started 20 minutes late. That said, our English guide was very good and the tour was quite interesting to me.”

Vienna: Underground WWII Bunker Ticket and Guided Tour - The WWII Air Raid Shelter You Actually Go Into

7.Vienna: Underground WWII Bunker Ticket and Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 79 reviews · 1h 30m · from $35

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.”
