Vienna Sewers from “The Third Man Movie”
June 27th, 2008“I wonder what the sewers looked like in “The Third Man?” my friend Rosie asked. One of the most famous scenes in the classic 1949 movie takes place in Vienna’s underground - in the city’s sewers.
Karin from The Third Man Museum
was able to provide photos
of the open and closed manhole covers
and the stairwell to the underground
that Harry Lime used in ‘The Third Man’

Harry Lime and Vienna’s Underground
One of Vienna’s most popular guided tours is available again after the recent completion of the main intercepting sewer below Vienna river. Visitors can once again follow in the tracks of “The Third Man” in the historic vaults of Vienna’s sewers which formed the background to the 1949 movie classic starring Orson Welles.
