Viennese Women stories. Tour about strong, brave women and Vienna as their stage

A Women’s History Tour Vienna Rarely Tells You About

Most classic Vienna sightseeing focuses on emperors, palaces, and famous men. This women’s history tour Vienna experience flips that script. Walking with your guide Konstanze, author of the tour, you’ll follow the footsteps of the female scientists, artists, hosts, and activists who shaped the city just as much, even though their stories rarely make it into the standard guidebooks.

Over two hours, including a stop at the University of Vienna, you’ll meet the women behind some of the city’s most overlooked achievements: physicist Marietta Blau, who discovered emulsion stars during nuclear reactions and was overlooked for the Nobel Prize in Physics; Berta von Zuckerkandl, whose salon became a meeting point for Vienna’s intellectuals and artists; and Emilie Flöge, who helped free women from the corset with her reform dress designs. The tour also looks at how public art, including sculptures by Ulrike Truger, continues to reckon with Vienna’s history of deportation and remembrance.
