Anyone visiting Vienna has to see the Danube, not just the minor lower canal portion of it that is pretty close to the Altstadt, but the real deal.
Walking Vienna
Our primary objective on Sunday was to walk a good portion of the city and while we were doing that visit the Danube.
Stubentor And City Wall
Along our walk we happened upon a monument for the old city wall and the Stuben Tower, which was part of it at one time.
The Danube
After a considerable two to three mile walk, and a cafe stop for coffee, we enjoyed a walk to this famous river, as well as a short walk along its banks.
The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi
Not far from the Danube and in the Stuwerviertal, close to Mexicoplatz is the church of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Saint Stephan’s Cathedral
Almost directly in the center of the old city is Saint Stephan’s Cathedral. We were fortunate enough to be at the cathedral on a Sunday to hear them play the marvelous bells.
The cathedral is impressive, both inside and out, almost reminiscent of the Kolner Dom.
