Vibrant City Tours

What Cities Really Tell Us

Every city carries a story within it. Sometimes it lies in plain sight, in a magnificent square or an old façade. Sometimes it hides in a forgotten passageway, in an inscription that hardly anyone reads, or in the shape of a window that reveals more than a thousand guidebooks. You just need to know where to look.

That is exactly what fascinates me about city tours. Bringing places to life, uncovering their layers, showing how people, events and traditions have shaped a place right up to the present day. This is not a matter of dates and figures. It is about real stories. About connections that suddenly make sense. About that moment when you see a place with entirely different eyes than before.

Salzburg, Mondsee and the Places in Between

My city tours lead through Salzburg, through Mondsee and through other places in this remarkable region. Each of them has its own face, its own atmosphere, its own story. Salzburg with its baroque grandeur and the music that seems to hang in the air everywhere. Mondsee with the quiet charm of a place that carries centuries within it. And in between, there are always small discoveries that slip away so quickly when you simply pass through.

I show well-known sights, of course. But I also show the hidden corners, the details that go unnoticed when you walk by. A coat of arms that reveals an old rivalry. A courtyard that once knew a very different life. A lane where time seems to have stood still for a little while.

Stories That Stay With You

What I hope for is that feeling at the end of a tour. That you know a place you thought you already knew, and now realise how much more lies beneath the surface. Making history come alive means making it tangible to me. As something that still concerns us, that explains why a place looks the way it looks, why a city has grown the way it has grown.

My tours are cheerful, lively and narrative in style. No lecture-style presentations, but a shared journey of discovery. For people who truly want to understand places and who are willing to look more closely than usual.

On the following pages you will find the tours and articles that belong to this theme. Each one is an invitation to get to know a city in a completely new way.
