SECRET VIENNA

A magnificent private palace that can be visited by reservation, a crocodile mummy in a private library, a chocolate house, an alchemical ceiling in Schönbrunn, one of the most beautiful pharmacies in the world, an exceptional Art Nouveau church, the tomb of a fish that would have converted to Judaism, a jazz museum in public toilets, a public dump that can be visited like a museum, the oldest organ in Vienna hidden behind a painting, an empress dressed as a nun, the mystery of the symbol 05, a masculine sex discreetly sculpted on the cathedral of Vienna, a surprising private museum of billiards, an incredible bouquet of flowers made from butterfly wings, a source of water that reveals the winning lotto numbers, an extraordinary underground annex at the Mauthausen camp where the world’s first jet was built, a charming historic ‘love hotel’…

An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Vienna well or who wish to discover another facet of the city.
