3.Ottakringer Brewery tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · from $23

Visit Vienna’s Ottakringer Brewery for a 90-minute tour covering brewery history, beer-making, and the range of beers produced here. English tours run only Thursday and Saturday at 4pm. Guides such as Maia and brewer Mario have led tours that finish with a generous tasting.

Didn't bother with the tour and found the visitor centre disappointing and little more than a brewery shop. Not worth the effort of getting there. The photo makes it look better than it is. Disappointing.”
