A crisp morning in Vienna’s Alsergrund feels like stepping into a clinical sketch—stone facades, narrow streets, and the faint aroma of espresso. The walk threads past Berggasse 19, Freud’s former consulting rooms, and through neighborhoods that shaped turn-of-the-century Vienna: wrought-iron balconies, municipal baths, and the compact geometry of the Ringstraße.
