Description

Journey from Vienna into Austria’s stunning Wachau Valley on a full-day adventure through medieval castles, charming villages, and breathtaking river landscapes. This immersive day trip introduces you to the heart of the Danube Valley, where history and natural beauty blend seamlessly.

Travel comfortably by modern coach as you pass the quaint town of Krems and the romantic ruins of Dürnstein Castle, each offering a glimpse into the region’s storied past. Depending on the season, you’ll explore either Krems or Dürnstein, with knowledgeable guides sharing captivating insights along the way.

In summer, enjoy a scenic boat ride from Spitz to Melk, gliding past Schönbühel Castle and lush vineyards lining the riverbanks. If you visit outside the boating season, a delightful lunch awaits you instead, ensuring a memorable experience year-round.

The highlight of your day is a guided tour of the magnificent Benedictine Abbey at Melk, renowned for its baroque architecture and sweeping views of the valley. Admission to the abbey is included with the all-inclusive or winter package, while a basic summer option allows you to skip the abbey if you prefer.

This tour lasts approximately eight to nine hours and is available in English, German, and Spanish. Group sizes are kept small for a more personal experience. Secure your spot now and discover the magic of the Danube Valley—spaces fill quickly, so check availability today!
