Want to rediscover Vienna?

ivie will accompany you. Because the digital city guide (iOS and Android) from the Vienna Tourist Board knows Vienna like the back of its hand. ivie is your personal Vienna guide that knows all facets of the city. Because not only Vienna's famous sights, from Schönbrunn and Prater to St. Stephen's Cathedral and Ringstrasse, are part of the app. ivie knows curious museums, exciting architecture, magnificent parks, great markets and places that even many Viennese don't know, but are definitely worth a visit. Hundreds of exciting places are waiting to be discovered.


And ivie has a lot to tell.

Know everything about Vienna. Would you like to know what technical aids were needed to hoist Empress Maria Theresa, who was weighty in every respect, into the Capuchin crypt during her visits? Did you know that architect Otto Wagner erected a monument to himself in the form of a giant lion statue and that the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna houses make-up palettes that are over 6,000 years old? Fossilized dinosaur excrement you can touch? How many golden leaves adorn the dome of the Secession, and how often do you have to spend the night in Schönbrunn Palace to have slept in every room once? - ivie knows.


From Beethoven to modern architecture.

ivie knows just as well how to (mis)guide. How about an audio walk that takes you through Beethoven's Vienna and shows the composer from a new perspective? Or with city guides on topics such as Viennese modernism, extraordinary museums and modern architecture? A guide that shows you which music institutions are located away from the main venues? ivie will accompany you. Or the classic way: let ivie show you the most important sights on the Ringstrasse.


The perfect companion.

ivie is also extremely practical. ivie knows where there are drinking fountains, toilets and city bike stations. If you want, ivie can notify you when there is an exciting place in the immediate vicinity of your own location. You can also mark places that are important to you so that you can easily find them again later. ivie is also perfect for preparing your trip. Browse through the app in advance and save your favorites.
