About this experience
Discover Vienna Differently – With a Romanian Soul and Viennese Flavor! I invite you on a unique experience: a guided tour through the heart of the imperial capital, where you will savor authentic Viennese cuisine and explore, step by step, the profound traces left by Romanians in Vienna’s culture, history, and art. We begin with one of Austria’s finest offerings: a traditional Viennese meal. Over coffee, we’ll share stories and give you a relaxed introduction to the charm of the city—beyond the usual tourist crowds. We’ll visit the places where prominent Romanians once lived and created—figures who shaped our culture, from Vlad Tepes to Mihai Eminescu. You’ll discover how Vienna served as a center of education, inspiration, and recognition for many Romanians. Together, we’ll explore areas such as Fleischmarkt, the Theresianum, the University of Vienna, the Votivkirche, and other hidden gems.

What you'll see and do
Maria Am Gestade
We are visiting what is perhaps the oldest Romanian trace in Vienna — a 15th-century painting that also features the Romanian voivode Vlad Țepeș.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Griechenkirche zur heiligen Dreifaltigkeit
The "Holy Trinity" Cathedral in Vienna, today the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Austria and Hungary, was built between 1782 and 1786 following the Edict of Tolerance issued by Emperor Joseph II in 1781. Mihai Eminescu and Ioan Slavici, who were students in Vienna, attended Orthodox services here, celebrated in the Romanian language! This place holds special significance for the history of our Church in Austria. We will also visit the Fleischmarkt area, where Romanian voivodes and members of the elite once lived during their time in Vienna.
60 minutes here
We will pass by the College of St. Barbara in Vienna, the institution where the elite scholars of the Transylvanian Enlightenment—known as the Școala Ardeleană—received their education. Founding and mission: The Greek‑Catholic College of Santa Barbara was established in Vienna in 1775 by imperial decree of Maria Theresa, serving as a principal center of education for young Romanian students from Transylvania. Students such as Samuil Micu Clain, Gheorghe Șincai, Petru Maior and Ion Budai‑Deleanu studied here between ~1775 and the mid‑1780s. From this College, they became key intellectuals who promoted Enlightenment values, Romanian linguistic and cultural identity, and formulated the Supplex Libellus Valachorum in 1791–1792, demanding political recognition for Romanians in Transylvania.

Akademie der Wissenschaften
We are visiting the former main building of the University of Vienna, where Eminescu, Slavici, and their contemporaries once studied. We will also enter the university’s beautiful chapel.
Pass by without stopping
Stephansplatz
We will visit the monumental St. Stephen's Cathedral, a site of crucial importance not only for Austrians but also for Romanian spirituality! Inside the cathedral, we will see a sacred treasure deeply connected to Romanian spiritual heritage: an icon of the Mother of God that closely resembles the one from Nicula. Both reflect the iconographic style of the time in Transylvania. For this reason, the icon of the Theotokos from Nicula, painted by Father Luca of Iclod, and the one in St. Stephen’s Cathedral, painted by Ștefan Pop, are considered to be “sister icons.”
30 minutes here · Admission included
We will have lunch at a well-known Viennese restaurant, where we will enjoy traditional Austrian dishes.
60 minutes here
Universitat Wien
We will also pass by the new campus of the University of Vienna, where Lucian Blaga and other prominent figures of Romanian culture pursued their studies.
Pass by without stopping
Ringstrasse
I will briefly share the fascinating story of the Viennese Ringstrasse and introduce you to the magnificent buildings that adorn it — from the State Opera, Hofburg Palace, and Parliament, to the City Hall, the Imperial Theatre, and more.
Pass by without stopping
Votivkirche
We will admire the coats of arms of Bukovina and Transylvania, painted inside the church during the time when these regions were part of the Habsburg Empire.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Romanian Vienna A Taste of History and Imperial Flavors start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
