Hi, It's Yan Hao here. Our second day in Vienna was spent on the 'hop on and off bus.' We spent the first half of the day touring the city centre on the red line, seeing the sites and cobbled inner-city streets. Being up on the top of the double decker buses really gave us an elevated perspective on the city. The day was a scorcher and the air flow on the top of the bus was a real treat.
The red bus line circled the central 'area 1' district and we really engaged with the stunning architecture of Vienna. Some highlights of mine included the Stadtpark (city park), Hunderwasser house and Museum Hofburg. This route also crossed the Danube river and we saw the magnificent Danube Tower. Coming back towards the central city, we had decided to switch to the blue bus route and go see Schonbrunn palace, the city's primary tourist attraction. This must of been the most photographed attraction in Vienna, and it wasn't hard to see why. The castle was absolutely massive and the complementary gardens also proved to be a absolute treat. The temperature had truly soared by lunchtime, and several drinking taps gave us some welcome relief from the heat. I had a nice wee shower under one of these taps and after a few pranks on Simon, we made our way our way back to the bus where we hunted for a seat on the crowded upper level of the bus.
The Vienna city tour buses had truly given us a comprehensive summary of all the major tourist sites Vienna has to offer. It had been an absolute stunner of a day and we made our way back to our Airbnb as very happy tourists.
