Creepy, scary, spooky city – of vampires, ghosts and the like

Did you know that the entire city centre is a cemetery? We walk on bones and explore eerie Vienna and its ghost stories. And there are plenty of them: like the White Lady of the Habsburgs, whom they share with the Scottish Monastery, or the connection between the British ambassador and the ghost of the imperial master of the hunt, or ghosts that only haunt civil servants, or the mysterious tenant turnover in haunted municipal housing complexes.

Why Maria Theresa’s personal physician was the model for perhaps the most famous vampire hunter ever and why Princess Schwarzenberg went into exile in Bohemia to avoid posing a threat to the Viennese – and much more to uncover.

We explore the catacombs of St. Stephen’s Cathedral – and perhaps we’ll glimpse a ghost among the bones of the 11,000 resting here … Amusing, if it weren’t so creepy.
