We arrived in Vienna in the early evening on the 15th after cruising up the river, including thru the prosperous looking capital of Slovakia, Bratislava. Walked into Vienna (Wien) about one mile before returning to the ship. The next day we enjoyed a walking tour of the city center including the Hofburg Palace, the summer residence of the Hapsburgs, the St. Stephen Cathedral, where we climbed the 343 steps to the observation level of the tower, and the natural history museum, especially the minerals, before walking about three miles back to the ship.Read more
