Turn of the year on the Danube Itinerary

Day 1

Regensburg

The breath of almost 2000 years can be felt in Regensburg. Spared from the destruction of past wars, the city on the Danube invites you to look and be amazed. The past was preserved here in a particularly impressive way. The medieval cityscape of the former free imperial city is characterized by numerous patrician buildings and residential towers from the 13th and 14th centuries. The stone bridge and the "Porta Praetoria" are particularly worth seeing. Anyone who wants to experience history is in the right place in the largest city in Eastern Bavaria.

Day 2

Passau

Passau is known as a three-river city and is the first port on the Danube that is navigable by cruise ships. From here the big tours via Vienna, Bratislava and down to the Black Sea start. But the city itself also has a lot to offer, such as the opera house, the Ilz, a small river that is great for hiking, or St. Stephen's Cathedral and the old town hall. A visit to the Passau Glass Museum is particularly recommended, if you want to turn your back on the city, you can go to the Mariahilf pilgrimage church just outside.

Day 3

Melk

Melk has acquired a nice name: The gateway to the Wachau. Anyone approaching the historic city on the Danube will see Melk Abbey very early on, towering high above the river. This is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worth a visit in all seasons. The impressive baroque ensemble has been looked after by the monks of the Benedictine order since 1089. Culture, faith and science come together in the splendid rooms of the monastery.

Day 4

Budapest

Together with the Danube, Budapest forms the most beautiful landscape of a city on the river. Budapest is one of the most glamorous metropolises of the old Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. The Hungarian capital is a must for city travelers. For lovers of the architecture of the early 20th century, Art Nouveau and the Secession, the lively city is a true Eldorado. The city is best explored on foot. A ride on the historic funicular is a special experience. UNESCO has declared the buildings on the banks of the Danube and the castle hill to be World Heritage Sites.

Day 5

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia lies on the border with Austria and Hungary. Around 450,000 people live in it. The old town of Bratislava dates back to the 18th century and, thanks to the car-free zone, invites you to stroll. The city's famous dark beer is served in the cafés and bars there. The landmark of Bratislava - Hrad Castle is located on a hill. From its terrace you have the best view of the city and the Danube.

Vienna

Vienna is the capital of Austria and at the same time one of the federal states. The city on the Danube exudes the charm of the former imperial couple Franz Joseph I and Elisabeth, known as Sissi. The once splendidly built Schönbrunn Palace was the home of the Empress and can still be visited today. The beautiful garden and the adjacent zoo are one of the city's many highlights. A visit to St. Stephen's Cathedral, Café Sacher and the Prater amusement park are part of every stay in Vienna.
