Vienna discovered: The most popular city walks in 2025 in the ranking!
In the golden light of autumn, Vienna once again becomes a stage for walks that are not only good for the soul, but also tell exciting stories. The popular app “ivie”, which acts as a digital city guide, has published an evaluation of the most popular city tours this year. As MeinBezirk reports, the app, which has been available free of charge for smartphones for five years, is enjoying ever-growing popularity. Over 1.7 million downloads and around 500,000 active users annually speak for themselves.
The app offers over 1,000 entries that convey the history of Vienna in an appealing way. This wealth of information benefits Viennese and tourists alike as it provides exciting stories, historical facts and practical tips. For example, public toilet facilities, WiFi access and drinking water fountains can be found quickly.
The top 10 city walks
The most popular city tours in 2025 are a colorful mix of cultural experience and historical discovery. First up is the Ringstraße Walk, a 14-station audio walk that allows users to explore Vienna's boulevard on their own. They follow:
- 2. Johann Strauss Walk
- 3. Karmeliterviertel Walk
- 4. Sisi Guide
- 5. Schönbrunn Walk
- 6. Sigmund Freud Guide
- 7. Before Sunrise Walk (Filmtour)
- 8. Gußhausviertel & Freihausviertel Walk
- 9. Hundertwasser Walk
- 10. Prater Walk
Particularly pleasing: There will be a scavenger hunt in the coming weeks to mark Johann Strauss' 200th birthday. This takes participants to six important locations in Vienna and is supplemented by an Augmented Reality (AR) module that introduces waltz dancing in a playful way. As Kosmo explains, the Strauss monument in the Vienna-Landstraße Stadtpark is the focus of this event. This fits perfectly with Vienna Tourism's annual theme "King of Waltz. Queen of Music", which is implemented visually and acoustically in the app.
Augmented reality and the future of city tours
But not only “ivie” uses modern technologies. The city of Vienna uses augmented reality to enable its citizens and visitors to immerse themselves in exploring the city's history. Projects like an AR puzzle rally, offered by ArchäeNOW, combine historical discoveries with digital technology. Participants can navigate through Vienna's landmarks and solve puzzles to discover hidden secrets, as Blog Wien reports. This digital dimension enriches interaction with the city's heritage and makes it exciting for all age groups.
Overall, the fascination for Vienna's history and culture seems to be brought to the public more than ever through digital city tours and innovative technologies. If you haven't booked one of the top walks yet, you have until the end of December to take part in the exciting scavenger hunt and discover the city in a new, exciting way. The weather is sure to offer a few more beautiful days!
