The “Third Man Tour “gives an amazing insight into the world of this film classic “The Third Man”. Interested parties have the opportunity to learn about the Vienna Canal System and the work in the canal at a depth of almost seven meters under the streets of Vienna. Adventurous, but well equipped with helmet and headlamp, the visitors start exploring the underground of Vienna. The original movie staircase leads deep into one of the oldest but still well-preserved sections of the Vienna sewer system. The canals were built in the 1830s and have remained virtually unchanged to this day. So visitors can recreate the chase of Orson Welles aka Harry Lime.
