Not all weeks are created equal, but this is one you’ll be talking about for years to come! Your 8-day luxury voyage begins in Germany`s Passau, the City of Three Rivers where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz Rivers converge. Then, crossing into Austria, visit Linz, birthplace of the Linzer Torte, the world’s first cake; quaint Grein, home to a 15th-century castle and the country’s oldest theatre; and lovely Dürnstein, which remains forever connected to England’s King Richard the Lionheart and his faithful minstrel Blondel. Spend two unforgettable days in Vienna, where the opulent palaces and Baroque architecture simply invite you to waltz! Afterward, discover the spirit of Hungary, with port stops in Esztergom, one of the country`s oldest towns, and, of course, Budapest, the exquisite capital spanning both banks of the Danube.
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.
The Basilica of Esztergom is the largest church of the country and home of the catholic church. Another highlight in this region are the fortress ruins of Visegrad and the so-called Danube knee – the scenic stretch between Esztergom and Budapest.
Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.
