Royals, Saints and Spies - Exploring British Connections in Vienna
|
|
| This tour shines a spotlight on the many surprising and fascinating British connections woven into Vienna's fabric. Wherever you turn, you encounter echoes of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Vienna owes its iconic Giant Ferris Wheel to a Scotsman, its quintessential film classic to an Englishman, its very first football club to a Manx, unforgettable opera performances to a Welshman, and some of its finest pubs to the Irish. Follow in the footsteps of royals, monks, heroes, diplomats, writers, film magnates, and spies who all left their mark on the city. Discover where they lived, socialised, were entertained, or occasionally sparked scandal. Along the way, learn about the British contribution to the joint Allied administration of post-war Vienna, and explore the works of British artists and architects who helped shape the city. Hear the stories of charitable organisations that saved countless lives, find out what British travel writers really thought of Vienna, and read what Winston Churchill once wrote about Prince Eugene of Savoy. |
