Join us for an unforgettable day trip through the picturesque Wachau Valley starting from Vienna.
This full-day excursion takes you through the enchanting Danube Valley, where the Danube River winds gently through one of Europe’s most beautiful cultural landscapes. The Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage site, impresses with its steep vineyards, charming villages, and historical landmarks along the river.
Our first stop is the town of Dürnstein, famous for its impressive castle ruins, which watch over the town from above. Dürnstein is a place where history and nature merge in a unique way. The ruins were once the prison of Richard the Lionheart, the English king, and offer a breathtaking view of the Danube Valley.
Next, we head to Spitz, an idyllic town in the Wachau. There, in the summer months, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the stunning landscape on a boat ride along the Danube. As you glide gently over the river, you can admire the picturesque vineyards and rolling riverbanks that make the region so unique.
The final stop on the tour is Melk, where the world-famous Melk Abbey stands majestically. This Baroque masterpiece, perched high above the Danube, is a true architectural gem and a place of great historical significance. During a guided tour, you will learn more about the history of the abbey, which played an important role in medieval and early modern Europe.
