Historical city tour

on the trail of silver

Special flair in every nook and cranny
It was thanks to the mining of silver that the city of Schwaz developed in the Middle Ages into the second largest city in Austria - after Vienna.

Professionally guided cultural experience
Home town guides accompany you through alleys and corners of the silver town, lead you to hidden places and make the time of that time tangible in the truest sense of the word. Hidden places are not few in the old town of Schwaz. These special places remained hidden from the public until recently. They open their gates only for this occasion and form the highlights of the newly conceived city tour. The roof truss of the Maria Himmelfahrt parish church is just one of a total of ten stops worth seeing on the free city tour.
