Danube riverboat cruise – Vienna, Austria – Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Sunset over the Danube last night leaving Bratislava heading toward Vienna:


I enjoyed a cuppa cawfee (without the tawk) in our cabin this morning.


Today’s program:


We skipped the “Art Tour of Vienna” excursion, because we like neither art history nor museums. Discuss.

Bob and I took the 2:30 free shuttle bus from the riverboat to the City Center Schwedenplatz and walked around in the light drizzle. Bob was my umbrella aide-de-camp whenever I took a photo.

Other city walk pics:


Tonight’s dinner menus:


We forewent the evening classical music concert for several reasons:

  1. Bob doesn’t care for classical music.
  2. I attend the N.C. Symphony somewhat regularly, and I constantly listen to our classical music station — which Bob affectionately refers to as “the oldies station.”
  3. I did the Viennese waltz in Vienna with my then-wife when I was here 45 years ago, which I view as an equivalent experience.

With all that said, the people who went reported that the concert was great! And it was a special concert just for the people on this riverboat cruise.

  1. The visit to the art museum in Vienna was fantastic, so if you ever get a chance to go there, please ignore what John said and just go. Of course, it also helps if you have a guide who really understands art, and who can make you see things that you never saw before. It was wonderful!
