a. Provisioning services: In the mountains close to the city there are springs of water that provide fresh water (not for the whole city but at least for part of it and for the people that visit them). b. Regulating services: There are multiple forest around the city and in the mountains (even some parks could be considered small forests) that regulate the local climate and air quality, collaborate in the carbon sequestration and moderate extreme events such as floods by sustaining the soil, absorbing water through the roots and collecting some water on leaves that afterwards will be absorbed, evaporated or drip. c. Habitat or Supporting services: The area around the Danube is a habitat for multiple species of small animals and insects and it is thus helping to maintain the genetic diversity. d. Cultural services: I would say the Danube itself that runs through part of the city. It was important from the moment of the foundation of the city and it still is providing a powerful tourist attraction and even a means of transportation (which can also be as a touristic activity).
