Romantic Danube Valley by Vienna Sightseeing

Tour Itinerary

PLEASE ADVISE YOUR HOTEL IN VIENNA!

A full-day excursion, which will show you the beauty of the Wachau. Through this romantic scenery full of history and legends the Danube winds his way past charming old villages and steep vineyards.

The old castles tell us about the former importance of this trade- and trafficway, one of them -Dürnstein- especially famous, because here King Richard Lionheart was imprisoned, while waiting for his ransom to arrive from England, raised by his true minstrel Blondel. During a romantic boat-trip the history comes alive.

The heart of the Wachau is the old vine-merchants town Krems. To complete this day of highlights you will visit Melk, the "Cradle of Austria" , the magnificent Benedictine Abbey, a pearl of the Austrian Baroque. Possibility for lunch in the Abbey Restaurant at Melk. The tour finishes at the Opera House.
