YouTube Video Description

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | 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 River and a hike through the breathtakingly Baroque Melk Abbey. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #vienna Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
