“Now I've really seen everything”, you think to yourself after crossing all the gardens, castles and museums off your list? We can assure you: Vienna still has an ace up its sleeve. Here we reveal where you are guaranteed to discover the city from a new perspective.

Tip: With the Vienna Welcome Card, you also get great discounts with many providers. 

For connoisseurs: coffee house tour

Nowhere will you get a deeper insight into the city's attitude to life than in the old Viennese coffee houses. In the dim light, people read, chat and, above all, enjoy delicious coffee. On the coffee house tour, you will follow in the footsteps of the black gold for around three hours and taste everything from the Melange to the Verlängerter to the Einspänner. And because the city's love of coffee naturally evolves with it, the tour takes you to Vienna's hippest coffee hotspots as well as the traditional establishments. With a bit of luck, you might even learn a latte art trick or two from the baristas.

For detectives: puzzle tour with CityRiddler

Are you bored of listening and taking photos? On the CityRiddler tours, you can also put on your detective hat and get your brain cells firing. All you need is up to five of your favorite sleuths and your charged smartphone. Where exactly you go is entirely up to you. Put together an individual route based on your own ideas or choose one of the curated tours and discover the city's highlights and hidden gems. Exciting puzzles and challenges await you along the way.

Really cool: Whatever you decide to do, with the Vienna Welcome Card you get a 20% discount on all tours in the web store and app. 

For the adventurous: Vienna Underworld tour

With the Vienna Underworld tour, you can experience our beautiful Vienna as far away from the usual beaten track as possible. The city beneath the city was created in the 19th century as a retreat for all those who could not afford to live the high life. Together with a guide, you will dive into the mysterious parallel world of the first district and visit the underground counterpart to the splendor of the city center. Depending on the duration of your tour, you have the opportunity to visit up to three historic, non-public underworld cellars in the heart of the city - including a former air raid shelter and a pharmacy cellar.

For time travelers: Time Travel Vienna

Although Time Travel Vienna is located in the middle of the first district, there is no trace of the hustle and bustle of Kärntner Straße here. In the 400-year-old vaults of St. Michael's Monastery, you will discover a city that was still known as Vindobona under the Romans, follow in the footsteps of the Habsburgs and experience the most important moments in Vienna's history up close. A 5D cinema, virtual reality and animatronics ensure that the past is really brought to life. Our highlight: the magical horse-drawn carriage ride back to the here and now - but we don't want to give too much away about that just yet.

You should also have your Vienna Welcome Card with you here, as it gives you a 20% discount on your one-way ticket. 

For the style-conscious: E-Oldtimer panoramic ride

Speaking of nostalgia: How about an electric classic car ride through Vienna's city center? You'll discover the city's most beautiful spots in an environmentally friendly and at the same time classier way than ever before - and in 19th century style. Meanwhile, your chauffeur will provide you with plenty of stories, insider tips and, of course, a good dose of Viennese wit.

By the way: don't forget your Vienna Welcome Card and save 20%. And to really immerse yourself in the city, you can't miss out on the traditional delicacies. That's why the nostalgic cruise is also available with a fine culinary program, either with sparkling wine, bread rolls and pastries or an exclusive 3-course menu. 

For explorers: City Cruise on the Danube Canal

Sometimes a small change of perspective is all it takes to experience a city in a completely new way. That's why we can only recommend discovering Vienna from the water. For around 75 minutes, you will glide along the Danube Canal on the MS Blue Danube, past a mixture of history and modernity - from the historic Urania observatory to the futuristic Uniqa Tower.

Tip: Keep your eyes peeled, as really cool graffiti art awaits you to your left and right. And while you let the creative paintings pass you by, you will be spoiled with delicious Viennese delicacies from the on-board restaurant. We think so: You shouldn't miss out on a Wiener Schnitzel by the water. With the Vienna Welcome Card, you get a 10% discount on a boat trip or evening cruise on the Danube Canal.
