We will have to have lunch there, so ifanyone wants to research a lunch spot, that would be fine. However, there are a lot of outdoorcafes right near St. Stephan's church. We ate at one when we were there in 2013.
We can visit Schonbrunn gardens on our own. Walk to Karlsplatz.. depending on where weare, it's sometimes faster to walk to Karlsplatz and catch the U4 (green) rather than waiting onthe U1 at St. Stephan's and then transferring.

9:30 AM Ophorus - Alscace full day wine tour
This morning depart from Strasbourg for a private full day wine tour in the Alsace vineyards.The Alsace Wine Route winds its way from north to south, for more than 170 kilometers (106miles) along the eastern foothills of the Vosges. It has become famous the world over for itsexceptional natural beauty as it leads visitors across rows of undulating, vine-covered hills,and through quaint villages.
Begin the day with a stop in the Mittelbergheim wine producing region. The area is home tothe Zotzenberg, Kastelberg and Wiebelsberg Grand Crus and the soils found here areparticularly favorable for Riesling. Here,experience your first Alsace wine discovery by tastinga selection of different wines including Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Riesling.
