Embark in Budapest.
Enjoy a guided walking tour of the ‘Queen of the Danube’ and experience the history and architecture of one of Europe’s most fascinating capital cities. Budapest was the centre of Hungarian Jewish cultural life, and the Jewish Heritage Tour offers a different slant of Budapest before the Second World War and includes the famous Tree of Life Holocaust memorial and the Temple of Heroes. Choose a hike to Castle Hill with spectacular views for an energetic adventure. In the afternoon, there is a visit to the Opera House, where guests can enjoy a recital.
After a morning of scenic cruising, arrive in Bratislava, where guests can join a guided walking tour of the ‘Coronation City’, the location of the crowning of 11 Hungarian monarchs between 1536 and 1830. Stray further afield on a guided bike tour or hike up to Bratislava Castle, with stunning views. The Tastes of Bratislava tour is a must for those intrigued by local cuisine, with goulash and potato dumplings with sheep’s cheese at the top of the menu.
Cruise through Austria’s beautiful Wachau Valley to Melk, famous for its 11th-century Benedictine Abbey, built high above the town and adorned with gold statuary and a huge library housing mediaeval manuscripts. Enjoy a tour of the Abbey with a choral performance or take a hike from the town to this imposing building with fabulous river views for company and join a guided tour on your arrival. There is also the option of a bike excursion around the town, and then in the afternoon, enjoy scenic cruising as the vessel makes its way to Linz.
On arrival in Linz, there is the option of a full-day excursion to Salzburg, where guests can see the house where Mozart was born and, on the way, pay a visit to the Basilica St. Michael where Maria’s wedding was filmed in the ‘Sound of Music’. Stay in Linz and enjoy a guided walking tour of this UNESCO City of Media Arts or hop on a bike for a guided excursion of the city’s Cultural Mile. For guests who have not opted to spend the day in Salzburg, in the afternoon, there is a visit to the charming Czech town of Český Krumlov, located just over the border in the Czech Republic.
Sail from Linz through stunning scenery to arrive in Vienna and enjoy a morning tour of the UNESCO-designated Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens. This Baroque Palace was built as an imperial summer residence and is one of Austria’s most important architectural monuments. Alternatively, pedal alongside the scenic Danube to Klosterneuburg, with its spectacular 12th-century Augustinian monastery overlooking the river. In the evening, guests are cordially invited to a special classical performance at a local concert hall.
One day in Vienna is not just enough. Explore the heritage of one of the most musical cities in the world and discover the culture and location that gave birth to Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert on the Composers Walking Tour. For the energetic, a guided bike tour is an excellent way to see more of the city, including the Opera House and the Imperial Palace of the Habsburgs. A trip to Vienna wouldn’t be complete without sampling the luxurious chocolate sachertorte and rich Viennese coffee.
