Vienna · VIENNA SELF-GUIDED AND AUDIO TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 vienna self-guided and audio tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Explore Mozart’s only preserved Vienna apartment, where he lived from 1784 to 1787 and composed Figaro. A self-guided audio tour covers his Vienna years across three exhibition levels. Audio is offered in 13 adult languages and 8 children’s languages. Add Haus der Musik for a broader, interactive music visit.
“Awesome! If you are a Mozart fan like me, book this!!!”
Visit Schlumberger Kellerwelten in Vienna for a 60-minute self-guided audio tour through historic cellars, learn how sparkling wine is made, try hand-riddling bottles, and finish with a choice of sparkling, rosé, or mixed tasting set.
“The tour is self guided (the audio guide was something similar to a watch) the explanations are pretty good, but it is a little uncomfortable (if you don’t have earbuds wired you need to hold it near the ear all the time). The wine is enjoyable; however, please note that only one standard glass is included, with additional glasses costing 3 euros for regular and 5 euros for premium. It was a good experience but it can be improved in my humble opinion.”
This self-guided Vienna scavenger hunt sends you through the historic center with 16 sealed envelopes, riddles, directions, and city facts. Start at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, continue past Graben, Heldenplatz, the Hofburg, City Hall, and the Burgtheater, then pause whenever you like for coffee, photos, or Sacher cake.
“Es war super. Die Rätsel konnte man dank guter Beschreibung super lösen. ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen und würde es in jeder anderen Stadt wieder machen.”
Use your smartphone to follow a self-guided story through central Vienna, solving clues at St. Rupert’s Church, Griechenbeisl, Stephansplatz, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Albertina, and the Hofburg. The private game lasts about 90 minutes, but you can pause for coffee, museums, or extra sightseeing.
“Great way to see the city and see hidden gems I would have never known about! Me and my friend did it and it was a great afternoon activity”
Pick a palace, a hall or a table.
