Arriving in Vienna

Freud House

The founder of psychoanalysis lived and worked in this house in Vienna for almost half a century - from 1891 to 1938 - before fleeing to London. The home includes original furnishings from the waiting room and an extensive collection of antiques.

St. Stephens Cathedral

Considered one of the most important religious buildings in Vienna, this cathedral is one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

Jewish Quarter

Situated near the Danube River, the Jewish Quarter of Vienna was once a hub of Jewish life, housing shops, theatres and coffeehouses. Almost completely destroyed during the Holocaust, this area is currently making a comeback. The middle photo depicts the Old Synagogue, the only surviving pre-war synagogue in that city. The Holocaust Memorial, seen on the right, was built on the Judenplatz (Jewish Square), which lays over the site of a medieval synagogue.

Schoenbrun Palace

One of the most important cultural monuments in Austria, the palace illustrates the tastes and interests of successive Hapsburg monarchies.

Hofburgh Imperial Palace

This impressive structure housed some of the most powerful people in Austrian history, including members of the Hapsburg dynasty.
