FOR YOUNGSTERS AND THE YOUNG AT HEART
MORE EXCITING THAN ANY THRILLER!
Vienna is full of buildings and monuments that bear witness to bygone ages. They are the key to a heritage that is rich in myths and legends and at the same time they form a magical bridge to the city’s rich and varied history.
Awakening children’s interest in things that are new to them and answering their many tricky questions in a way that is appropriate to their age, is surely one of the most exciting challenges in cultural education.
Here are a few suggestions for tours that are sure to make children prick up their ears. Of course, all the other tours offered on this website can also be adapted to appeal to children (and adults)!
