Morbid Vienna on the go

With the time travel machine, you can not only be transported to a wartime Viennese bunker for a bombing raid, but also re-create what it might have felt like in a plague pit in medieval Vienna. However, the bunker and plague pit experiences are not recommended for under 10-year-olds.

Vienna's Wurstelprater is an institution, even if it may have lost some of its importance among kids in our supposedly more exciting virtual times. But at least the older generation still likes to talk about their own first rides in the tunnel of horror - at least it still exists.

A picturesque quarter in Vienna, where you can also find Mozart's residence ("Figarohaus"), which is worth visiting. From there you can take a look down at the Blutgasse (Blood Alley) - the view is almost exactly as it was in Wolfgang Amadé's time. It is not documented why exactly it bears this bloodthirsty name. Nevertheless it is a remnant of old Vienna with beautiful architecture, quiet courtyards and artists' studios.
