AUSTRIA
Austria's standouts.
The 6 most popular vienna river cruises in Austria. What each one includes, who runs it, and what it costs.
Vienna Danube Canal cruise from Schwedenplatz with onboard screens and optional Wiener Schnitzel lunch. Relaxing 75 minutes, good value.
“The food was better than expected and the seats were very comfy - would recommend 100%”
A 75-minute Vienna Danube Canal cruise from Schwedenplatz with apple strudel and a warm drink, plus optional Heidi Horten museum tickets.
“I enjoyed the trip but I thought there would be more information as we went along. I enjoyed chatting to my friend while enjoying the apple strudel.”
Skip the line at Donauturm in Vienna. Ride up to 150m for 360° views, plus café and optional slide in Danube Park.
“the view the best. warn older visitors of how many steps to restaurant or shelp with finding lifts”
Vienna day trip to Wachau Valley with Danube cruise (summer) and Melk Abbey. UNESCO sights, Dürnstein, and guided history—good value.
“Amazing trip. Very well organized and punctual. Danube trip was spectacular. Guide was extremely knowledgeable.”
Austria’s tallest tower in Vienna: fast lift to Danube Tower’s 360° views, with cafe stops, a reservable restaurant, and a slide.
“While Viator states that it open 10AM to 10 PM, they do not tell you that the upper deck and the slide closes at 9:00 PM. We went at 8:55 PM and by the time we took some pictures, they would not let us up to do either.”
Vienna FLEXI Pass pairs 5 top sights with 72 hours of hop-on buses, plus Danube views by wheel, tower, palace, and boat.
“It is ok if you rush from one attraction to the other. Note: The hop on/off bus is yellow, not brown. It does save a bit but not that much.”
