Many movies were shot in Vienna. On this walk, you'll discover where and how.
The palace where Jennifer Lawrence walked through, the monument where Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy had their romantic moment on screen. The church where Sissi married Emperor Franz Joseph in Sissi.
They're still there. Exactly as they were. Walk up, look around —and suddenly the city clicks into focus in a way it never did before.

ROUTE PREVIEW
Stops on our Vienna tour
Albertina Platz
Before Sunrise
A train. A glance. Fourteen hours in Vienna. Jesse and Céline talk, walk, fall. Dawn breaks on the Albertinaplatz steps. Poetry fills the silence. Time runs out. One night. Three films. A lifetime.
National Opera
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Vienna’s opera house fills with music. Ethan Hunt fills it with danger. The rooftop becomes the stage. High heels come off. The mission goes on. Five days to shoot. One take to get it right. Impossible? Never.
St Michaels Church
Sissi
Vienna glows. Church bells ring. Romy Schneider walks the aisle. No dialogue. Just music and candlelight. Six minutes of pure cinema. But the real wedding? That happened around the corner. Hollywood chose the better backdrop.

do you have questions?
Everything you need to know about our film tours
Do I need to book in advance?
You don’t need to make a reservation or plan ahead when you go on a MovieWalk. Just pick a walk, download it, and you can start walking right away or whenever you want.
Can I walk it with friends?
Absolutely. You can go for a walk with whoever you want—alone or with friends. Since it’s fun to follow along on your device, it’s best to have multiple devices for larger groups.
Does it work without internet?
Once MovieWalk has been downloaded, the app does not require access to the mobile network. The only requirement is that GPS is enabled; this feature is free to use. However, please note that you will need internet access if you want to use external links.
How long does the walk take?
Our MovieWalks are usually about 3 kilometers long. The duration of the walk depends, of course, on your walking speed and how long you want to stay at each location. But we estimate that it will take about 2 hours.
How long is a MovieWalk valid?
Once you purchase a MovieWalk, you can start it whenever you wish; there’s no time limit. The walk will remain accessible in the app linked to the account you used for the purchase, so even if you switch mobile phones, your MovieWalks will still be available.
BEHIND THE SCENES
The spie came for the palace. The lovers stayed for the coffee.
This self-guided walking tour takes you through the real Vienna. The city that played backdrop to spies and ballerinas, emperors and exiles. A place where the past is never just the past – it’s a plot point.
Start at the Vienna State Opera House, where Tom Cruise ended up on the roof with Rebecca Ferguson in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – and where the hardest stunt wasn’t a death-defying leap but getting her high heels off fast enough. The production had just five days to shoot all of Vienna. Walk around the corner to Hotel Sacher, birthplace of the most famous chocolate cake in cinema history, where the recipe has been a secret since the 1880s.
Cinematic stops. Each one a film location. Each one a story you didn’t know.
Cross to Albertinaplatz, where Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy lay on the steps beneath a statue of an archduke and talked about love until dawn in Before Sunrise – a film that almost took place on an Amtrak train in the States, until director Richard Linklater visited Vienna and changed everything. Walk to Palais Pallavicini, where Joseph Cotten stepped under a ladder in The Third Man and everything went downhill from there. Carol Reed had three crews – day, night, and sewers – working around the clock. That film still plays three times a week at a cinema nearby. Seventy-eight years and counting.
Continue through the Hofburg corridors, where Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Oliver Platt refused to lay down their swords in The Three Musketeers – a film whose soundtrack by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting turned out to be a bigger hit than the movie itself.
This is Vienna through the lens of cinema. Mission: Impossible. Before Sunrise. The Third Man. The Three Musketeers. Red Sparrow. Sissi. Woman in Gold. The Living Daylights. Vienna Blood. Films and series that chose Vienna not because it was easy – but because they fell in love with it.
The MovieWalks Vienna Hofburg tour is a self-guided film location walk through the imperial heart of the city. No group. No fixed schedule. Download the app, start at the Opera House, and walk at your own pace through one of the most storied cities in cinema.
Vienna on Film. Walk It.
