Coffeehouses, palaces and a Ferris wheel that two classic films share.
4 locations2 films
Vienna is the setting of two very different films: The Third Man, a dark postwar thriller, and Before Sunrise, a romance of one night.
Both films share the Riesenrad, which makes it the perfect center of a film trip.
Suggested scene walk
Start with coffee at Café Sperl, walk to Josefsplatz for Harry Lime’s building, take the U-Bahn to the Prater for the Riesenrad and finish by tram at the Zentralfriedhof.
