True Crime Vienna

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Vienna, the glittering Imperial City of palaces, waltzes and coffeehouse elegance. But behind the gilded facades of the first district lies another Vienna — a city of assassins and spies, of poisoned pastries and burning courthouses, of scandals that shook an empire. On this walk we peel back the imperial veneer and follow the trail of the capital's most notorious crimes, standing on the very spots where history turned dark.
