Spooky Vienna: Evening Ghost Tour in German

Please note: this tour is guided in German.

Behind Vienna's grand facades and imperial elegance lies a much darker side. On this evening ghost tour a local storyteller leads you through shadowy alleys, hidden courtyards and centuries-old squares where the city's most disturbing legends played out.

You will hear about the massacre of the Templars, the true story of the greatest female mass murderer in history, the tragic fate of Vienna's only witch and the legend of a vampire princess said to roam the city after dark. Along the way your guide points out the demonic and devilish carvings on the facade of St. Stephen's Cathedral that most visitors walk straight past.

The tour mixes real history with local folklore: cobbled streets, lamplight and stories told by a guide with a passion for the macabre. It is a good choice for couples, friends and anyone who wants an evening activity beyond the usual highlights. The stories are dark, so the tour suits the brave at heart.
