Johann Strauss Museum (Johann Strauss Wohnung) Tours
Found in the apartment where he wrote the world-famous ‘Blue Danube’ waltz, the Johann Strauss Museum (Johann Strauss Wohnung) was home to Austria’s best-loved composer for seven years between 1863 and 1870. Born in Vienna in 1825, the be-whiskered ‘Waltz King’ was part of a musical dynasty that included his father Johann the Elder and brothers Josef and Eduard; although they all enjoyed comparative success in their careers, Johann’s talent eclipsed them all. The museum showcases his pianos and violins and his work as a conductor and composer but also highlights Strauss the (much-married) family man, who played billiards and drew cartoons of his contemporaries.

Enjoy a free-flowing Segway ride with the two elements that make Vienna what it is, music and the river Danube. See if the Danube really is blue as Johann Strauss claims in his famous Blue Danube Waltz. Explore a different side of Vienna.
Vienna without the music of Johann Strauss and the river Danube is unimaginable. The Danube Rhapsody Segway Tour brings these most important influences on Vienna alive with the pleasure of gliding on a Segway.
First you learn how to navigate safely on a Segway before heading out of the city center on bike paths to the Danube Canal. After crossing the canal you ride into the big Prater Park. You are covering territory that most visitors to Vienna never see. You glide past the university of economics and soon reach the river Danube. Johann Strauss’ most famous waltz, “The Blue Danube”, tolls its beauty. But is it really blue or did Mr. Strauss have sunglasses on? You decide. On the way back one of the best views in Vienna awaits you.
