Did you know that the metropolitan area of Vienna has its perfect Wine connection?

Perfectly connected by public transport, biking, and hiking ways former village is now part of the city and one of the favorite picnic stops of the locals.
Things to do in Grinzing (things we do at least)
When you are in Vienna, do not miss to explore this hidden gem, and maybe you will meet us also.
In the time before refrigerators and cooling machines of modern times, all wine produced in Grinzing, needed to be stored somewhere, somewhere cold and hidden. In the past times, that were usually facilities, 3 floors underground, deep under Viennese feet, but today they present perfectly hidden gems of Vienna.
Just in the city center, under the feet of all tourists passing by laying hidden roman cellars, astonishing works of architecture, today serving the purpose as a unique attraction. Some of them you can visit on your own, and to some is a limited entrance, but if you contact us, we can arrange a private wine tasting for you 10m underground.

A few friends were working together and decided to start a bar, the Krypt bar a hidden cellar of the Viennese 9th district. Somewhere there you should walk and discover, and maybe find out the entrance to the Krypt. Specialized for craft cocktails and light bites, this place is a unique experience for locals and visitors. Simply go out there and find it.
If you were having the bloody marry cocktail at the Krypt, now you know the taste of blood and you are ready to check our last hidden gem on the list The Bloody Street. Rather a simple, narrow street, at the central location keeps its horrific legend. The street is named due to the high amount of blood running it is the narrow path, but if you would like to find out more simply check the video under, but if you want to experience all goosebumps and mystery join our Spooky Vienna Tour, and be amazed or frightened.
