Hitler’s Vienna: A Self-Guided Tour
Overview
Young Adolf Hitler struggled to make his mark as an artist in Vienna, the pearl of the Habsburg Empire. On this walking tour, you’ll follow in his footsteps and visit key locations that played a crucial role in his formative years.
This self-guided tour starts outside Wien Westbahnhof train station and ends in front of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, which rejected the aspirant artist’s application three times. You’ll weave through part of the bustling Jewish Quarter where, ironically, Hitler found some of his best clients for his mediocre hand-painted postcards. Along the way, you’ll find out how Vienna’s anti-Semitic environment and Hitler’s experiences of poverty and rejection shaped his worldview, providing valuable insights into one of history’s darkest chapters.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a unique perspective on these complex political, socioeconomic and racial factors, and a deeper understanding of the events that led to World War II.
