About this tour
This session covers the covered passages and courtyards running behind Getreidegasse, away from the busier shopping street most visitors stay on. You see one passage entrance and then a quiet courtyard tucked just behind it, both a short step from the crowds outside. It is a session built around the old town's quieter side rather than its main draw.
I walk between passages at an easy pace, since the whole point is to slow down rather than rush toward a single stop. Questions come in throughout, and I answer them as we walk. A short note on other passages worth finding follows once we finish.
This suits anyone who has already walked the main street and wants to see past it. It also works well for a calmer session away from the busiest hours.
Included
