The themed tour allows you to see only your favorite animals. You can make an individual tour for your request, including only those who are interesting to you or choose an option from those that were made by the zookeepers.

Today, the Vienna zoo is a famous place. It all started in 1570 with a small menagerie, which became a zoo only in 1752 at the behest of Emperor Franz I. Then the zoo had a pavilion for breakfast, which was surrounded by 30 enclosures with animals. In 1779, it became accessible to everyone.

All aviaries in the zoo are multi-level and built in such a way that they have huge territories and all the necessary conditions that are close to the natural conditions of each animal. The inhabitants can be viewed both from the street and in the pavilion.

Sad times came to the zoo during the First World War. Because of the lack of food, many inhabitants died. Even sadder was the Second World War: only 400 individuals out of more than three thousand individuals remained alive.

However, these sad events are in the past. Today, the Vienna zoo has 8,500 inhabitants.
