As a native of Wien, I know all its neighbourhoods, off-path experiences, and local hotspots that make this city so special.
Since 14 years independent travellers from all over the world have used and loved my bespoke itineraries. “Barbara was a joy to work with. She went the extra mile to fine tune our itinerary, and she was extraordinarily responsive – often replying in less than 24 hours – to any requests and questions. A very easy person to work with and it made our travel planning SO much easier.” (Jason, Minnesota, USA).

What to see and do
Before embarking on your trip get an idea what to do in my home city. To begin with, include Vienna’s UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Hofburg Imperial Palace, the Giant Ferris Wheel, and the Spanish Riding School in your programme. Overall, it is the Austrian capital’s stunning Baroque architecture and Gustav Klimt art that draw most visitors to Wien. To immerse yourself in Viennese culture, indulge in a cooking class with locals, take a Danube boat trip to the Wachau Valley, or visit a World War II Air Defence Tower. And learn why a group of local grandmas’ delectable cakes rival even the classic Sacher Torte.
