This private Vienna shore excursion is designed for Danube river cruise passengers. You see the highlights of the imperial city at your own pace and are back on board in good time.
River cruise ships dock on the Danube in Vienna, a little outside the old town. A private shore excursion spares you big groups and long waits: your guide meets you as agreed and takes you to the center by public transport, taxi or an arranged vehicle.
In about three hours you see the Ringstrasse with the State Opera and Parliament, the Hofburg, the Graben and St. Stephen's Cathedral. If you like, there is time for a slice of Sacher torte in a coffeehouse or a quick stop at your favorite photo spot.
Your guide knows how cruise schedules work and plans for a relaxed return. The program can be tailored to your interests and time in port, from music and the Habsburgs to shopping.
