Today was a continuation of the walking tour from yesterday. Today I covered the Museum Quartier, Capuchin Imperial Court and St Peter’s Church. I also ventured out to Danube Island (Donauinsel), which is an island that has been created in the middle of the Danube. The island has a number of different beaches and also has a wakeboarding course; which looked insane. The island, whilst being a great swimming/walking/cycling area for people, the island was actually created to prevent flooding in the main city area. A new channel was dredged (called the Little Danube) creating the island and helping to protect the city. It is also the venue of a music festival once a year.
