Vienna Cruises, Austria

View Itineraries

Classical music, palatial architecture and priceless works of art are just a flavour of Vienna’s social standing. It’s Austria’s capital, and sits on the west bank of the Danube River. U-Bahn trains take five or 10 minutes to get from the waterfront to the city centre, where pretty parks fill in the gaps between the libraries, churches and opera houses. Crispy portions of Wiener schnitzel are on every restaurant menu, and on-the-go explorers opt for kasekrainer – a frankfurter filled with melted cheese. Shoppers make a beeline for Karnter Strasse, where big-name brands stand shoulder-to-shoulder. And if you take a stroll to the southern reaches, you’ll find Baroque palaces and grand concert halls.

Classic Vienna City Tour

Vienna’s known for its extravagant architecture and you’ll fit all the main contenders in today. You’ll start with a panoramic bus tour past the Art Nouveau Urania observatory and the Danube Canal promenade, which is lined with bistros, bars and mini-manmade beaches. Then you’ll head out on foot for a photo stop at the Belvedere Museum – home to a pair of Baroque palaces and sloping gardens. After, the bus will drop you near the Hofburg, a former palace from the Habsburg era. From here, you can walk to St Stephen’s Cathedral for a closer look at its 137-metre-high spire and patterned roof. The bus will then whisk you to the Ringstrasse boulevard, where you can wrap up the tour with a stroll over to the Hundertwasser House. Designed by the Gaudi of Vienna, this brightly coloured building flaunts a forested roof and curved walls.
