Cool place with relaxed atmosphere

Aug 2023 • Friends

Cool atmosphere, decent priced beer and wine. Nice to sit for a while, grab few drinks and view the Danube and people walking by.

Lovely canal walk

Aug 2023 • Couples

We walked along the canal after visiting the Donau Turm. The flood defence system to split off the Danube is great and the park area created is wonderful

Danube Canal

Jun 2023 • Family

It is a beautiful spot. One can carry one’s own food and drinks and sit by the canal. Alternatives in the shape of small eateries are also available in case you wish to order instead of carrying. It is easily accessible thru all U lines.

Ugly …. Don’t do the cruise

Mar 2023 • Couples

Worst city boat cruise we have ever done. It’s mad that the city is so beautiful and clean and this area is absolutely awful, such a contrast. We thought it would be stunning. Huge sewage entry point, a multi story car park, a waste water plant and a hideous blue and gold chimney. No wonder our concierge couldn’t recommend it, the booking lady was almost laughing when we asked which city sights we would see! None…. I know you can’t make a river flow past historical sights but what a let down this area is to such a stunning city

It's cool

Dec 2022 • Friends

Danube Canal ( Donau Kanal ) although not the beautiful River Danube which in the past was an arm of the River Danube but was regulated as a water channel ,it flows through the city ,it's not that pretty but it's interesting and in my opinion rather cool looking with graffiti covered embankments ,it's certainly nice to walk along and there's some nice pubs,bars and restaurants along the Danube Canal.
Well worth checking out if you're planning a holiday to Vienna.

Interesting

Dec 2022

Our river cruise ship was parked on the Danube River but we crossed the Danube Canal every time that we headed downtown. In an effort to reduce graffiti elsewhere, graffiti artists are encouraged to decorate the banks of this canal.
I especially liked the ship with a swimming pool.

Function over Form

Oct 2022

Stretching from the city centre out to the Danube river, the canal is more function over form. There are a few nice areas to walk along the canal.

Canal, NOT the Danube River!

May 2022

If you are expecting this to be the famously know blue Danube, then you will be disappointed! The CANAL runs through the city of Vienna and whilst it is not the most attractive place, it is nice for a walk or cycle. There are many access points via stairs or ramps, usually close to the bridges. We found the "beach bar" fascinating - an area of beach sand with deck chairs, beach umbrellas and a bar on the banks of the canal!
If you want to see the more attractive Danube River, the blue Danube, then you need to head out of the city to Donauinsel.

Not worth

Aug 2022

Had the cruise within the canal but unfortunately there is nothing to see.
Vienna is a beautiful city but along tha canal there is not any see sights.
Not recommended to spend your time and money.
