"The streets of Vienna are paved with history of medicine" the famous Viennese writer and journalist Karl Kraus could have said. In fact, the attentive visitor can’t move through the city without being reminded by all the street names, historical buildings, monuments or memorial stones that Vienna has been a capital of medicine, attracting students and doctors.
This city guide is written for all visitors to this fascinating city who are interested in the history of medicine. 15 walks through the city show the reader the traces of the old medical Vienna: the Fools’ Tower, Freud’s private practice and apartment, the workplaces of many famous physicians, through the old General Hospital, the old university, and the most important pathological museums. Many little-known details and anecdotes are included as well as a short history of Vienna and some gourmet tips, plus the famous Viennese coffee shops for relaxing.
