Austria · AUDIO TOURS
The good audio-guided tours sell out weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 7 to lock in before you fly, what each includes and where they differ.
Explore Mozart’s only preserved Vienna apartment, hear his story in 13 languages, and add Haus der Musik for a full day of music.
“What an amazin concert! Pure class. However, it was a shame we were not allowed to take photographs or videos. Although I understand how disruptive it can be, it is a good way to spread the word about this experience.”
Explore Vienna’s New Hofburg with an audio guide, Imperial Armoury, Mozart’s fortepiano, Habsburg history, and royal rooms.
“Easy to find ticket counter. Overall nice place. Signage pointing out the numbers of exhibits for audio guide could be clearer. Exhibit is comprised of 50% suits of armor and 50% antique music instruments- or it felt like it. If those aren’t your main interests- just photograph the outside.”
Explore Salzburg Cathedral with a flexible ticket and optional English or German audio guide, including classic, short, and children’s tours.
Explore Vienna’s grand sights with an affordable offline audio walk covering Karlskirche, Hofburg, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and more.
“The application doesn't work properly, many bugs. Not worth paying for this.”
Review of Vienna’s $11.99 self-guided audio walk, covering landmarks, app use, route, value, drawbacks, and who should book.
“Interesting and informative at the same time! Loved the self-paces nature of it too. It was a great guide to wandering the city with some stories about what was around us. One minor flaw - we were charged twice for this - once through trip advisor and once through viator.”
Explore Vienna’s major sights with a flexible app-led scavenger hunt, audio stories, riddles, and local tips for about $9.61.
“This was so much fun to do. We saw many important sights and learned a lot about each. My husband, who hates sightseeing tours, loved this one. Hint: bring pen and paper with you.”
Explore Palais Lobkowitz in Vienna with an audio guide, Klimt’s Nuda Veritas, Beethoven’s Eroica Hall, and baroque interiors.
Pick a hall, a palace or a lake road.
