We
had
Scottish
visitors
over
a
long
weekend
in
May
and
wanted
to
squeeze
in
as
much
of
Vienna
as
possible,
without
any
of
the
responsibility
of
having
to
come
up
with
interesting
tidbits
about
the
city
ourselves,
so
we
ended
up
deciding
on
a
tour
(the
panorama
tour).
The
tour
starts
in
the
city
centre
near
the
opera
house,
and
weaves
its
way
through
the
inner
districts
to
Grinzing
and
Kahlenberg.
The
bus
stops
there
for
a
break
(there’s
a
café
and
smaller
shops
for
drinks/snacks/souvenirs,
a
small
but
very
pretty
church,
and
a
brilliant
view
of
Vienna
from
above!)
and
then
makes
its
way
back
to
Vienna
via
Klosterneuburg,
past
the
Danube
Island
and
UNO
City
to
the
Danube
Tower.
Up
on
the
Danube
Tower
you
get
a
closer
look
at
Vienna
from
above,
the
Old
Danube,
Danube
Island
and
the
surrounding
area,
and
of
course
the
tower
itself
is
impressive
as
well.
The
lift
has
a
glass
ceiling!
Thankfully
it
doesn’t
have
a
glass
floor.
The
tour
then
takes
you
back
to
the
opera
house.
We
liked
this
tour
because
it
takes
you
to
all
the
places
that
are
annoying
to
get
to
on
public
transport
(Kahlenberg,
Klosterneuburg,
Danube
Tower
–
without
a
car
you
wouldn’t
be
able
to
do
all
those
in
a
single
day),
but
you
still
get
to
see
a
lot
of
the
sights
the
city
centre
and
inner
districts
have
to
offer.
The
aircon
on
the
bus
was
a
welcome
break
from
the
heat,
too.
Our
tour
guide
Karl-Heinz
and
the
bus
driver
really
didn’t
have
circumstances
on
their
side
(a
lot
of
construction
going
on
in
the
city
centre
currently
so
some
roads
were
closed
to
traffic),
but
they
just
adapted
the
route
slightly
and
Karl-Heinz
smoothly
managed
to
segue
from
one
story
about
one
building
into
the
next
just
as
we
were
passing
that
location.
Our
tour
group
consisted
of
Viennese,
Scottish
and
Indian
people
and
he
threw
in
some
bits
that
were
relevant
to
each
of
our
home
countries
as
well.
Our
guests
and
my
family
enjoyed
the
tour
a
lot,
and
even
(or
maybe
especially)
as
someone
from
Vienna,
I
was
just
well
and
truly
impressed.
Would
recommend!
