Big Bus Tours

A late breakfast was required today since we had to restock with groceries. Setting out we were bombarded with bus tours, red ones green ones and more red ones. After considerable analysis we decided on Big Bus Tours which offered a ticket to cover a tour in Vienna as well. It's a great way to see the sights of a city and decide where you want to go back to. We did get off a couple of times, enjoying views over the city at the Citadel and finishing at Heroes Square where there were huge monuments to admire. We took a peek inside one of the famous baths. As we walked along the corridor past the massage and treatment rooms there was an almighty scream, followed thankfully by laughter. Yes. Someone had just had their feet nibbled by fish, a fish pedicure.

Oh dear the last Big Bus had departed, us not having read the timetable properly. We could have taken a bus or tram but decided to walk back, having a good look at the splendid buildings as we went. Our ticket included an evening bus trip which travelled along both sides of the Danube. The buildings at night looked splendid, particularly the parliament building. A walk in the evening by ourselves is a must.
