Today we took a walking tour of Vienna. We got a bus into the old city center and walked around with a guide to see the sights.

We went past the stables of the famous Lipizzaner stallions so we had a look at them.

Our guide left us in front of St. Stephens Cathedral with instructions on where to meet him again to take the bus back to the ship or how to take the subway if we wanted to stay in the city so we decided to spend some time on our own in the city.

We went into the cathedral and then up the north tower for some shots of the city.

We then decided to walk back to the Parliment building to get some closer pictures and walk around the city. The Lippizaner Stallions were crossing the road to their stables when we went by.

We took a quick video of Parliament as well

Once we got the pictures we wanted, we made our way back towards St Stephen's Cathedral where our subway stop was and had some lunch at a cafe.

After lunch we made our way back to the ship via the subway, one straight line 4 stops and we were there. It was relatively easy.

Tonight we set sail for Budapest and the last stop on our cruise. We have the Gala goodbye dinner tonight.
