You walk down the street that was the main street of a Jewish town of 104 houses, watch a market grow out of the gap the expulsion left behind, and find out why, two centuries later, this island was called "Matzah Island".

A couple of steps away is Judenplatz: this was the heart of the medieval Jewish community, with its school and its synagogue, until it was destroyed in 1420 and 1421, and a neighbouring house celebrated the fact in Latin.
The big squares can make you feel you ought to hurry. Vienna rewards looking at façades and allowing a proper pause; combine its compact old centre with transport when changing areas.
