A guide in historical costume takes children and school classes into old Vienna. The children join in and experience legends and history first hand.
On the StadtLux costumed tour of Vienna, the old town becomes a stage. Your guide appears dressed as in times gone by, hands out roles and lets the children act out little scenes, from the imperial court to the legends of Vienna.
From St. Stephen's Square the route leads along the Graben with its Plague Column to the places of Vienna's best-known legends: the basilisk in Schönlaterngasse and dear Augustin. Along the way the children learn how people used to live, work and celebrate in Vienna.
All tours are led by state-licensed Austria Guides with additional training in theatre and experiential education. We adapt content and language to age and school level. For school trips to Vienna we are happy to plan a whole day with further activities. The price is per group.
