Time Travel Vienna

Exciting time travel in historic vaults

Since its opening in 2012, TimeTravel Vienna has been thrilling its guests in historical flair. The attraction is located on Michaelerplatz in the first district, which dates back to 1725. TimeTravel Vienna is housed in the historic vaults of the monastery of St. Michael, which was once used as a wine cellar.

During World War II, the hall, which covers about 1,300 square meters and is up to five meters high, functioned as a place of refuge during bomb alerts. The vault, which belonged to St. Michael's Church, was also frequently visited by Emperor Franz Joseph and his Sissi. The fact that the Michaelergruft (Michaeler crypt) is located right next to the Erlebniswelt provides a mysterious ambience. The unique mix of the mystical environment and moderate technology makes TimeTravel Vienna a unique experience.

Modern entertainment with spectacular effects

TimeTravel Vienna proves how exciting culture can be conveyed. During the one-hour show, the adventure world takes its visitors on an animated journey to memorable events in the city's history. As if in a time machine, it goes back to the ancient Romans, who named Vienna Vindobona more than 2,000 years ago. In the breathtaking 5-D strip, which appeals to all the senses, the journey continues to the Middle Ages, when Vienna was ravaged by the plague.

Guests also experience the Turkish siege in 1683 firsthand. Afterwards, famous Habsburgs such as Maria Theresa, Sisi and Franz Joseph reveal details about life at court. Music is closely linked to Vienna: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss appear on the screen, as does the legendary Falco. A reflective mood arises when the film tells about the world wars and the occupation of Vienna in the 1940s and 1950s. Finally, the Fiakerflug takes you back to the present: from a bird's eye view, you can see the Hofburg, the Prater and Schönbrunn Palace, among other things.
