Vienna Day 1 - Street Tram Tour & City Walking Tour

6/12/2022

Although the plan for this trip wasn't to necessarily tour Austria, Vienna is positioned well for us to check it out, and take a break from car touring for a change.

Here's a tram promoting the relationship between the USA and Austria - not the one we did our audio tour with however.

Vienna Opera - just an exterior view today - we'll get an inside tour tomorrow.  Across the street we find the first of two trams, short runs, to do a circular tour.

The tram tour begins - we use a Rick Steves' audioguide - it's not the best way to see stuff, but we get a whirlwind overview of the area we'll do a walking tour of later.

St. Stephen's Cathedral - the current version is largely from the 15th century, although earlier versions dated from the 12th century, were gradually built over and then removed from within.

Roman relics were incorporated into the front entrance.

St. Peter's Church peaking up the street.

WWII didn't treat the city well, but it resurrected itself to pretty fine shape.

"The Blue Danube" is the common English title of "An der schönen, blauen Donau", (German for "By the Beautiful Blue Danube"), a waltz by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866.

Yes, we are again on the Danube River.

There's little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
