About this activity
For many years Vienna was the perfect location for secret groups and religious orders to operate safely and quietly. The templars, Tutonic knights and other military orders had their headquarters right in the center of the city, in the inner courtyards behind the scenes. Today, secret groups such as the freemasons continue to captivate the curiosity of both locals and travellers.
Our Secret Vienna tour spans from brave crusaders to the aristocratic Order of the Golden Fleece and the Freemasons. 
Our guide Tatjana will share with you fascinating stories about secret rites, signs and symbols and try to find out, which influence those societies used to have – or maybe still have?
The tour begins right by St. Stephens cathedral, by the small model of the church, and will then continue into inner courtyards, secret churches and side streets which you would have never gone to otherwise!
