Vienna is a highlight of any Danube River cruise in Europe. River ships from all the major river cruise lines including AMAWaterways, Avalon, Grand Circle, Tauck, Uniworld, and Viking all have Danube River cruises with stopovers in Vienna.
Prior to World War I, Vienna was the capital of the powerful Habsburg Empire. Today Vienna's glory is in her past, but the city is still a marvelous place to visit. Most of the grand palaces and buildings are from the 17th century, but they have been well-preserved or substantially renovated. River ship passengers spend the day in Vienna, touring via bus, subway, and on foot. In the evening, a wonderful concert in one of the old palaces is usually available as an optional excursion. Be sure to take time to enjoy a Viennese coffee house and some of the city's highlights in your free time.
The historic center of the city of Vienna is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
