Mysterious places in Vienna
Vienna keeps many of its secrets well hidden. The Lainzer Tiergarten encloses an almost forgotten wilderness behind ancient walls, while the Prater's shadowed avenues hold more than a fairground atmosphere. The ruins of Araburg brood over the surrounding landscape, and the baroque interiors of the Karlskirche and Peterskirche are layered with cryptic symbolism. The Loos House once unsettled onlookers with its deliberately bare facade, and the Hetztheater recalls the city's darker entertainments. The Augarten and Liechtenstein Garden carry quiet, unresolved histories of their own. The Museum of Art Fakes turns authenticity itself into an open question, and the Breitenseer Lichtspiele — Vienna's oldest continuously operating cinema — still flickers with an atmosphere all its own.

Vienna Funeral Museum Vienna Funeral Museum
Vienna
culturehistoryThe Vienna Funeral Museum, located in the basement of a funeral hall at the main entrance of the Zentralfriedhof in Simmering, explores the city's unique relationship with death and burial customs. Around 1,000 exhibits include historic hearses, coffin models, safety coffins designed for the apparently dead, and elaborate funeral accessories that reflect the Viennese concept of the "schoene Leich" – a grand funeral as a social statement. The museum was redesigned in 2014 and is operated by B&F Wien, the city's own funeral company. It offers an unusually candid and culturally rich look at how one of Europe's great cities has approached mortality across the centuries.
