    Getting TO/AROUND: Vienna has a large number of horse drawn carriages called Fiakers, at tourist locations around the capital. The name Fiaker refers to the cab and cabby. The cabbies are normally dress in checked trousers, velvet jacket and derby hat. The Fiakers were at one stage Vienna’s only taxi transport but today they are only used for tourists and ceremonial duties. They can be found at the Staatsoper, Hofburg Complex and outside Stephansdom Cathedral

    Excursions FROM Vienna: River Cruises
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: The River Danube winds its way through Vienna and there are a number of river cruises available for sightseeing or longer journeys. For those who want to travel quickly Bratislava is 75 minutes away and Budapest is 4hrs 30mins by hydrofoil. There are slower cruises for those with more time to spare from the short river trip to 2 day trips

     Yes, I remember that giant Ferris wheel from 'The Third Man'. My own visits to Vienna were before I got my digital camera, so I unfortunately have no photos. I've been to two of their three opera houses, however.
