Scary and exciting story:Discover one of the largest cemetery complexes Europe! Relive the life story of Falco, Beethoven, Helmut Qualtinger and more 🕵🏻‍♂

In the second half of the 19th century, when the city of Vienna expanded rapidly beyond the suburbs after the city wall was demolished and the population grew to two million within a few years There is little space for the naturally increasing number of deaths in the old cemeteries of the 18th century. In 1863, the Vienna City Council decided to build the Central Cemetery, which then as now is one of the largest cemeteries in the world, the “city of the dead” of Vienna 😳

Your walk takes you through the history and present of the cemetery, to old and new honorary graves, to magnificent crypts and quiet, ivy-covered graves that no one has left visited. And maybe you'll even see deer between the gravestones on our foray 🦌
