A 75-minute boat trip on the Danube Canal with DDSG Blue Danube · From €35 · Departs from Schwedenplatz

What it is
A boat trip on the Danube Canal, the arm that skirts the old town. It leaves from Schwedenplatz, goes upstream past the Ringturm, the Rossau barracks and Spittelau, turns at the Nussdorf lock and returns. It takes about 75 minutes without getting off.
Hours and price
DDSG Blue Danube schedules daily departures at 11:00, 13:00, 14:30 and 16:00, with an extra one at 17:30 on the busiest dates; there are no boats on 24 December. The ticket costs from €35. The landing stage ticket office (Franz-Josefs-Kai 2, landing stages 1 to 4) is open from 10:00 to 16:00, and the company's telephone number is +43 1 588 80-0.
Low water
When the Danube is low, the City Cruise is suspended. In mid-November 2026 it was not sailing until further notice: check the low-water notice on the DDSG website before going.
