Description

Romantic Wachau & Danube Valley Tour – A Journey Through History and Beauty Experience the breathtaking beauty of Austria’s Wachau and Danube Valleys on a magical sightseeing adventure by bus and boat. Departing from Vienna, this unforgettable day trip takes you through the heart of Lower Austria, where rolling vineyards, charming villages, and historic castles line the banks of the legendary Danube River. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the stunning Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and rich winemaking traditions. As the Danube winds through the valley, you’ll pass ancient castles that whisper tales of knights and kings. One of the most famous is the ruined Dürnstein Castle, where, according to legend, England’s King Richard the Lionheart was held captive until his loyal minstrel, Blondel, sang him to freedom. In the summer months, indulge in a romantic boat cruise along the Danube, where you can soak in the spectacular views of terraced vineyards and charming riverside towns from the water. The highlight of your journey awaits in Melk, a beautiful town nestled along the river. Here, you’ll visit the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Melk, one of Austria’s most stunning Baroque masterpieces and a center of cultural and spiritual heritage. With the all-inclusive package, enjoy an expert-guided tour of the abbey’s ornate halls, grand library, and breathtaking views of the valley. Prefer to explore at your own pace? Simply select the basic option and enjoy the town’s delights at your leisure. This enchanting tour blends history, romance, and breathtaking scenery into a perfect day trip from Vienna.
