Vienna cheers: 250,000th guest at the famous 3rd man tour!
The "3rd Mann Tour" through the Viennese sewerage celebrated a special anniversary: On June 15, 2025, the 250,000th guest was welcomed. Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky personally welcomed the lucky ones, who were given free admission, but also with original Viennese man's cuts. A highlight of the tour is the star lid, which is the symbol of the famous film act of "The Third Man", in which Orson Welles shines as Harry Lime.
The tour, which attracts around 19,000 visitors annually, is an integral part of the Vienna tourism offer. It leads directly to the Viennese sewage system and not only addresses the film classic from 1948/49, but also tells stories from the everyday work of canal workers. This 50-minute leadership offers interesting insights into Vienna's modern sewage system that combines historical importance with technological innovations. The tour starts vis-à-vis from the Café Museum in the Esperantopark on Karlsplatz and is marked by an oversized red concrete channel grille with the light letters "3rd Mann Tour".
