If you only have a little time to spare, then Carpe Diem—seize the day (or, in this case, seize the 5 days of this memorable Danube River jaunt). Spend time in some of Europe`s most striking cities, towns, and villages, including Passau, Germany’s City of Three Rivers where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz Rivers come together; Linz, birthplace of the world’s first cake (which is, incidentally, still made today); and lovely Dürnstein with its looming clifftop castle ruin and striking blue and white abbey. You’ll also cruise through the incredible Wachau Valley, a splendid UNESCO World Heritage Site overflowing with riverbank castles, terraced vineyards, and apricot orchards. Your adventure concludes in Vienna, the celebrated City of Music, where opulent palaces and grandiose architecture lining almost every street positively invite you to waltz!
The city sits at the confluence of three rivers and had therefore military importance. The fortress Veste Oberhaus now houses the museum and the Dom features a great organ.
Austria’s third largest city and famous for its baroque styled Main Square, beautiful old town center, great shopping, the Schloss Museum and the Mariendom which can hold 20.000 worshippers.
In true Austrian style, the Rococo theater in Grein, built in 1793, was originally constructed to provide a bit of entertainment for travelers passing through. Nestled in the heart of the charming old town, this theater has been remarkably well preserved and is now housed in the wooden auditorium of the town hall. It’s a must-see attraction. Additionally, there’s Greinburg Castle, which features the Maritime Museum—a perfect place to explore the history of shipping on the Danube
Dürnstein is famous for its beautiful blue and white abbey tower, the medieval city walls, delicious white wines and sweet apricots. For our active guests we recommend the hike up to the castle ruins overlooking the river.
In Vienna walk in the footsteps of famous composers like Mozart or Strauss, visit one of over one hundred museums, visit Palaces, listen to great music in the famous Opera House, watch the Lipizzaner horses train at the Spanish Riding School.
