Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

This isn’t just any Ferris wheel — it’s an iconic piece of Vienna’s history. Standing tall since 1897, the Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater park has watched over the city through triumphs and trials. Step into one of its classic red cabins and take in panoramic views of Vienna, the Danube, and even the Alps on a clear day.

Stop 2

Rising 826 feet above the city, the Danube Tower offers one of the best bird’s-eye views in all of Austria. This 1960s architectural marvel features a revolving observation deck where you can soak in the sweeping vistas — from the winding Danube to the lush Vienna Woods.

Stop 3

Feel like royalty on this tour of Schönbrunn Palace’s opulent state apartments. Step into a world of golden walls, sparkling chandeliers, and imperial splendor — where Empress Maria Theresa once ruled and young Mozart once performed. It’s a must-see glimpse into the life of the Habsburg dynasty.

Stop 4

Hop aboard the newly refurbished MS Blue Danube for a scenic cruise through both historic and modern Vienna. Tour C (City Cruise) takes you along the Danube Canal, past landmarks like the Urania Observatory, the Media Tower, and Otto Wagner’s Schützenhaus. Spot colorful street art and trendy riverside hangouts on your way back. Just present your pass at the Schwedenplatz dock to board.

Stop 5

Explore Vienna at your own pace with our 72-hour HOP ON HOP OFF bus access. Travel seamlessly between attractions while enjoying audio guides in 19 languages. Whether you're crossing the city or just sightseeing between stops, this is the most flexible and informative way to get around.
