The City of Waltzes and Europe's center of Classical Music....Vienna! Day 10, Saturday, June 4, 2016

Today we docked in Vienna! One of the many nice things about river cruises is the length of time you get to spend in one city or town each day. We arrived at 7:00 am and weren't departing until 11:00 pm that night. If you chose to, you definitely could spend a very full day off the ship!  We decided to participate in the Vienna Up Close tour. This excursion was added after the original tours were listed online and was a special guided tour where we'd take the subway into the city center and spend a bit more time visiting each site, as opposed to the Vienna City Tour which takes the coach bus into the city. Alycen and Katy had already spent a few days in Vienna before the cruise, while Alex and I were in Salzburg, so Katy decided to relax on board the ship today. Alex, Alycen and I met our guide and it turned out that our group only included one other person! We really were going to get a customized tour!  First we walked along the river and to the subway station
