Join our ghost tour Vienna for a spine-chilling walk through witches, vampires and murder legends. 2 hours, small group, from €49. Book now.
Behind Vienna’s grand facades and imperial elegance lies a much darker side that most visitors never see. On this ghost tour Vienna locals still whisper about, we lead you into shadowy alleys, hidden courtyards and centuries-old squares where the city’s most disturbing legends played out. Spooky Vienna is the tour for anyone who wants to see the Austrian capital from its eerie, unfiltered side.
This isn’t a typical sightseeing walk. It’s a themed evening tour built around real history and enduring local folklore: the massacre of the Templars, the true story of Austria’s most notorious female mass murderer, the tragic fate of Vienna’s only convicted witch, and the legend of a vampire princess said to still roam the city after dark. Along the way, we’ll also point out the demonic and devilish carvings hidden on the facade of St. Stephen’s Cathedral — details most tourists walk straight past without ever noticing.
Guided by a local storyteller with a passion for the macabre, this ghost tour blends history with atmosphere: cobbled streets, flickering lamplight and the kind of hush that settles over a group when a story hits close to home. It’s a great pick for couples, friends and anyone visiting Vienna who wants an evening activity that goes well beyond the usual highlights.
This tour caters to the brave at heart — perfect for those who embrace the eerie and unknown, while the faint-hearted might prefer the postcard version of Vienna. Expect chilling tales, haunted sites and a side of Vienna’s history rarely covered on a standard city walk.
If you’re ready to face your fears, Spooky Vienna offers an unforgettable night out in the Austrian capital. Book your spot and discover why this ghost tour is one of the most memorable things to do in Vienna after dark.

“I took a nice October night walk with Stefan on this spooky Tour. I can tell that I am fascinated with amazing stories, legends, and really scary sh*t that was to experience here. Stefan is a great guide, but also a great performer. One could ask if he made a pact with the devil? :)”
“Tour with Stefan, not exactly the usual boring type of guide!! Instead, he is a real actor, he is able to gain people's attention for the whole trip using his great sense of humor, his storytelling ability, but also his body language. The tour itself is interesting and totally worth it!”
