The greater Vienna area (outside the 1st district) offers several interesting highlights, best visited by bus or limousine. These tours by vehicle enable the visitor to gain insight into Vienna away from the bustling tourist routes and hear about the typical everyday issues that move people in Vienna.
This tour includes all the classic highlights of Vienna. We will drive along the Ring Boulevard, the splendid legacy of the Habsburg Monarchy’s former grandeur, past the Ferris Wheel in the Prater Park, and across the different sections of the Danube River to get a glimpse of the city’s modern urban development. There will also be a stop at the Hundertwasser House or at the Belvedere Palace.
Duration: 3 hours
Cost: € 190
A shorter bus tour along the Ring Boulevard and a brief peek at the Ferris Wheel in the Prater Park will leave us enough time to pay a visit inside a Habsburg Palace of your choice, such as Schönbrunn Palace, the Habsburg’s former summer residence with its splendid Baroque gardens or the Imperial Apartments at the Hofburg, the former imperial winter residence.
