Visit Schubert's Birthplace with Go City® 

• With us, there are no entry fees on the day – all you've got to do is show your pass.
• Visit the birthplace of Franz Schubert.
• Audio guides or self-guided maps available in six languages.

Explore the home in the Viennese suburb of Himmelpfortgrund where Schubert was born and spent the first four and a half years of his childhood. 

Then called  "Zum roten Krebsen" (The Red Crab), the apartment of the large family consisted of only one room and a "Rauchkuchl" (kitchen with open fire).

During your visit, you'll explore the top floor which is now largely dedicated to the memory of the composer. The exhibits are home to an impressive collection documenting Schubert's musical development, his circle of friends and the important stages of his life. You'll also be able to view numerous portraits of the composer as well as a seemingly unspectacular pair of his spectacles which have long captivated the attention of visitors and become the 'trademark' of Schubert's memorials.

Getting in: just show your pass for scanning at reception.
