Historic tram around the city center of Vienna

A few years ago, tram lines 1 and 2 were driving in opposite directions around the Vienna Ring. After a new setup of the lines, these two routes were relocated. Both trams still lead via the ring and Franz-Josefs-Kai in the area of ​​Schwedenplatz. However, neither of the two lines moves anymore in a circle around the first district which is also known as the historic center of Vienna.

Alternative route around the Vienna Ring

As an alternative, Wiener Linien created the historic Vienna Ring Tram. A historic tramcar in yellow color. This tram line uses the remaining section of tram rails around the first district. Within a short time, you will experience the most famous boulevard in the city of Vienna. From the Schwedenplatz the Ring-Tram leads down to the Schwarzenbergplatz via the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK). Afterwards one passes with the Viennese ring tram the opera in order to drive afterwards further past the Hofburg. The Hofburg is the seat of the President of the Republic. There is also the Spanish Riding School.

The route then continues over the parliament and finally past the town hall and the Burgtheater. Then it goes over the university and past the Vienna Stock Exchange back to Schwedenplatz.

Eight languages ​​and Viennese dialect

With the help of an audio guide you can experience the ride and all the main attractions that can be seen there in other languages ​​as well. In addition to German and English, other foreign languages ​​are available. Particularly popular with the audience is the version "Viennese dialect".
