Do I need to be a history buff to enjoy this?

Not at all! While we love a good story about the Holy Roman Empire and the astronomical discoveries of Johannes Kepler, we focus on making history relatable, witty, and fun. If you like colorful medieval squares, riverside strolls, and a bit of a mental challenge, you’re in exactly the right place.

Do I need mobile data on my phone?

It’s a fantastic way to add a competitive “Play” element to your sightseeing—winner gets to pick the best spot for an evening of local food in the vibrant Haidplatz district!
