Four incredibly well-spent days are the hallmark of this fulfilling Danube escape. Begin in Germany`s City of Three Rivers, Passau, a thriving blacksmith hub for bladed weapons during the Renaissance. Cross into Austria and visit Melk with its breathtaking Benedictine abbey overlooking the river; picturesque Spitz nestled in the heart of the Wachau Valley, where charming landscapes and cultural richness await; and Vienna, the illustrious City of Music with its monumental baroque architecture lining the boulevards. The grand finale is Budapest, the elegant capital of Hungary gracing 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.
Melk's main attraction is the abbey, where Benedictine monks still live and dedicate their work to culture and education. Another highlight close by is the Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand Museum auf Castle Artstetten.
