About the event
Where exactly is the Stuwerviertel located and why is it called that? What explosive past does this neighborhood have and is it still truly notorious today?
We start at Mexikoplatz with a visit to the church and the Sisi Memorial Chapel, stroll to the Vorgartenmarkt, the culinary center of the district, continue via the tranquil Ilgplatz with the Circus and Clown Museum, to the formerly notorious Max Winter Platz, and end at the Venediger Au with a view of the Ferris wheel.
The guided tour usually includes a visit to the Empress Elisabeth Memorial Chapel in the "Mexico Church".
Start: at the steps to the Church of St. Francis of Assisi (“Mexico Church”), Mexikoplatz 12, 1020 Vienna (U1 Vorgartenstraße)
End: Venediger Au 11, 1020 Vienna with a view of the Giant Ferris Wheel (U1/U2 Praterstern)
