Vienna is one of Europe's cultural and historic cities. The city is a mix of new and historical buildings with no shortage of bakeries and sweet shops or concert halls. Because the pier was a distance to the city center, we were offered the option of a narrated bus tour or take the metro. We took the bus....and it was nice having the narration as we made our way through some very lovely parts of the city. The remainder of the time was ours to wander about and possibly enjoy some cake and coffee. After some time of walking, we were back on the bus headed to the ship for a rest before tonight's optional excursion - a private concert!
We knew that during the months of July and August most concert and opera performance are closed for holiday. However, we had a rare opportunity to enjoy a private concert in a small palace. It was incredible! We were expecting just an evening of music, but we were surprised with additional performances by 2 operas singers and 2 ballet dancers. It was an amazing evening and an experience not to be forgotten....and as we boarded the ship, we were handed a gift: a CD featuring the evening's musical artists. Class Act!
