Things to Do and See

No sightseeing tour to Vienna would be complete without a river trip on the Danube. The day-long tours are more than just a boat ride; they might include 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.

Some have called Vienna city the music capital of the world. Perhaps that is because so many of the world’s greatest composers have lived there. Composers such as Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart, Joseph Hayden, Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss Jr. and Johann Brahms lived in Vienna. The compositions of the great composers are often played by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

It is a treat to see the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as it is one of the best Orchestra’s in the world. Museums
