Description:

The Danube Valley in the Wachau region is a truly spectacular place to visit, as the river carves a postcard-perfect path through rolling hills. Depending on the season, take a private luxury vehicle to visit the imposing Melk Abbey or enjoy a scenic cruise along charming villages and vineyards.

As your ride whisks you away from your Vienna hotel, journey across the quaint Austrian countryside and admire the verdant landscapes of the renowned Wachau region. The slow-moving Danube runs through one of the most photographed areas of Austria, bordered by pretty villages and lush vineyards while ancient castles, fortresses, and abbeys dot the hilltops.

Stop by at Melk, home to an almost 1,000-year old Benedictine Monastery. Between October and April, you can take a guided tour through the awe-inspiring interiors, while from May to September you can board a river cruise to spend an hour on the Danube.

Your route also includes a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site around the town of Dürnstein. Enjoy leisure time at your own pace by browsing delightful shops and cafés, or hike up to the ruins of the medieval castle where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned on his way back from the Third Crusade.
