Secrets of the First District is a free self-guided walk through the oldest, most atmospheric pockets of Vienna’s inner city. Starting at Rotenturmstraße, you slip into Hoher Markt to catch the Ankeruhr’s whimsical figures, then thread the Jewish quarter via Judengasse and Seitenstettengasse. From there, the path drifts into the Greek quarter along Fleischmarkt and Griechengasse, where centuries of merchants left arcades, guild signs, and the storied Griechenbeisl.

The middle section celebrates small lanes and courtyards: beautiful Schönlaterngasse, quiet Sonnenfelsgasse, and the intimate passages of Schmeckender-Wurm-Hof and Zwettlhof. At Domgasse, look up to Mozarthaus for a quick nod to the composer’s Vienna years before continuing to Blutgasse and the dignified axis of Singerstraße. The route opens into Franziskanerplatz – one of the inner city’s nicest quieter squares – then winds through Ballgasse and Himmelpfortgasse toward the Ronacher and the bastion-top elegance of Palais Coburg.

Everything here is outdoors and effortless: medieval textures, tucked-away courtyards, and streets that still feel local at the edges. Plan 120 minutes at an easy pace, with tempting pauses at Griechenbeisl, Lugeck, or a Figlmüller detour for schnitzel. The loop returns you to Kärntner Straße, perfectly placed to continue exploring Vienna’s First District or to linger over a coffee.

The route starts in front of the St. Stephen’s Cathedral at the exit of subway station Stephansplatz (U1/U3) and is easily reachable via public transport. It ends at Kärntner Strasse still in the city center with lots of options how to progress.

Where to go from here?

You are now standing at Kärntner Strasse – right between the State Opera and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

If You Want to Continue With Another Walking Tour

Explore the Public Squares and Shopping Streets of the Old Town
Starting at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, this tour takes you through impressive city squares like Neuer Markt, and quieter corners like Judenplatz, all while exploring the bustling shopping streets of the first district. If you have not yet completed this walk, this is a natural continuation to explore more passages and squares.

From the Vienna State Opera to Stephansplatz and Ringstraße
If you’re looking for the biggest highlights of Vienna, this is the walk for you. You can head to the Vienna State Opera to start it from the beginning.

If You’re Done With the Big Walks for Today

Adriana and Mario enjoying the complete Viennese coffee experience at Café Sacher with Original Sacher Torte, Wiener Melange and traditional Einspänner coffee.

Café Sacher
Slip into the red velvet world of Café Sacher for the original Sachertorte and a melange. It’s a 2 minute stroll and the perfect, classic Vienna finale.

Albertina Museum or Terrace
If you want one more cultural hit, the Albertina’s exhibition halls are steps away. Short on time? Pop up to the Albertina Terrace for Opera and Ring views.

Vienna State Opera
Check for an evening performance or grab same-day standing room tickets for a spontaneous night at the Opera. Even a quick look at the façade at dusk feels cinematic.

Haus der Musik
Five minutes from Kärntner Straße, this interactive sound museum is playful and smart. Ideal if you want culture without another grand palace.
