Rick Steves' Europe
Vienna and the Danube
Season 5
Episode 506
For centuries, Vienna was the crown jewel of the rich and powerful Habsburg Empire. A century after that empire’s fall, the Viennese appreciate their imperial legacy as a cultural wellspring--and an excuse to live in style. We’ll take in the city’s wealth of elegant gardens, great art and fine music. Then we’ll explore the city’s surroundings, with a trip along the romantic Danube Rive.
