We have produced our exclusive audio-guide to provide you with even more insider tips for your stay in Vienna! At the moment the audio-guide is currently only available in German, but here is a brief insight into the most important sights which are included on the tour. 

Get to know the inner city of Vienna in a completely different way. It doesn’t matter if this is your first visit to Vienna, or if you feel that you already know most of the sights: our audio-guide will provide you with lots of insider tips, as well as interesting information which you certainly haven’t heard before. You will also meet some of our “local heroes”, who have left their mark on the Austria Trend Hotel Rathauspark and the surrounding Grätzl*

* What would Vienna be without its “Grätzl”? A “Grätzl” is an Austrian synonym for “the immediate neighbourhood”.  Most of the “Grätzl” can be found around Vienna’s 1st district, the size of which is roughly the same size as Vienna originally was within its city walls. 

Start in the Austria Trend Hotel Rathauspark Vienna

This is where our walk through the “Grätzl” starts. Download the app and our exclusive “Grätzl” walk (in German only). Our friendly local heroes on the artistically designed wall in the rear area of the lobby welcome you to the hotel: the Rathausmann, Empress Maria Theresa, Sisi, Falco, Sigmund Freud, Oskar Werner, Stefan Zweig and the Goddess Austria.
