In addition to the typical and universally-known tourist attractions, you can occasionally find one or the other insider’s tip. One such tip is Time Travel Vienna, which is located in the first district between Herrenplatz and Stephansplatz.
Time Travel – 5D experience and show
The show, which lasts approximately one hour, is ideal for a rainy day or an occasional pastime, and is not too strenuous for very young or older visitors either. A diverse programme structure impresses visitors right from the beginning with a snappy 5D cinema experience, which is good at causing a few gasps – (mainly from mothers) or excited squeals (usually from the kids).
The second station leads the visitors through the cellar and directly to a private Habsburger show, where the Imperial family are cheerfully chatting to each other. This personal audience offers humorous insights into the family and professional life of von Maria Theresia, Emperor Maximilian, Sisi, and Franz Josef.
The tour continues to “Music in Vienna”, a dialogue between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss and a fantastical carousel full of waltzing and lightheartedness. The “War Years” are also a part of the history of Vienna, although to a more grim period.
Experiencing wartime at Time Travel Vienna is optional. It takes place in a recreated air raid shelter with the siren signalling an air raid during the Second World War, before the end of the occupation time and Figl’s signing of the Austrian State Treaty are celebrated.
As a finishing touch – how could it be anything else – we are invited on a trip with Vienna’s most famous means of transport, the Fiaker (horse-drawn carriage). Having said that, this is not a conventional carriage, and is kind to animals, for that – but we don’t want to give too much away, but rather leave a few secrets for visitors!
