Along the Old Danube River


Looking Up
From the banks of
Ye Olde Danube River
22nd District

Only minutes
from the historic center's St. Stephen's Cathedral,
a modern skyline, and along
the wide old (and yes, often blue!) river,
three sailings and windsurfing schools, nine boat hire facilities,
and four lidos invite you onto its shores and into the water.

The Old Danube River
Miles and miles of bike paths, promenades to stroll along,
and terraces with restaurants and cafes,
offer a respite from the city
in a waterside setting.

Metro Line Bridge
Metro line U1 takes you
in 6 six minutes from
St. Stephen's Cathedral to
the Old Danube.

Very tempting,
isn't it?

  2. I took a divine walk along the Old Danube river with your new and older photos, as we use to say in France: "quel talent!"

  8. Incredibly tempting, to say the least! The sailboat in the first shot under "Old Danube" takes me and my imagination right off the page and into your world!

  9. Modern Vienna seems to so incongruous to everything I've ever known and loved about the place, but you know what, I think I actually like those nice clean lines!
