Skip-the-line entry to Vienna’s Danube Tower for a fast lift up to 150m and big 360° views, plus optional café, restaurant, and slide.

Be aware that the cafe is quite expensive when you get in and there are additional costs for the slide and photos etc, so I wouldn’t say it was totally worth the money, however for the view and the surrounding park it was lovely.”

Someone reviewed saying they couldn't hear the guide.... they must have had the ear piece turned off or in their pocket. The garden is amazing. We spent a lot of time after the inside tour looking at the rest of the property including the zoo. Allow most of the day to get the most of this wonderful place.”
