Vienna: Panoramic Night Tour by Bus

3.Vienna: Panoramic Night Tour by Bus

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 898 reviews · 1 hour · from $26

Ride through Vienna for one hour on an evening panoramic bus tour from the State Opera. You’ll pass the Ringstrasse, Parliament, Burgtheater, museums, Belvedere Palace, and the Giant Ferris Wheel, with recorded commentary in 16 languages. It is a sightseeing loop, not a hop-on-hop-off service.

“Great. Barely any traffic. The audio guide was clear although recorded. It played famous composers music, which was nice. But it needs an audio quality upgrade. And the earphones were a bit awkward. Could have brought my own, which would have fit better.”
