VIENNA CITY TOUR
Today the tradition-rich Danube metropolis Vienna is on the program. From the pier you will pass the “New Vienna” with the Uno-City and the Danube Island. See imposing magnificent buildings such as the State Opera, the Burgtheater, the Hofburg, the Parliament, the City Hall and the Votivkirche during the trip along the famous Ringstrasse. During a guided tour afterwards, you will experience this charming city and its world-famous “Viennese Schmäh” at first hand. After a short free time, you will pass the Praterstern and return to your ship.
BUDAPEST CITY TOUR
Budapest is certainly one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and bears the nickname “Queen of the Danube” not without reason. The Danube divides the Hungarian metropolis into the districts of Buda and Pest. You will first drive through the city center and enjoy the flair of the city. Enjoy a beautiful view of the Buda Castle, Fishermen’s Bastion and Matthias Church, which still remind of the glory of past times. Also a small visit to the famous Budapest market hall may not be missing, of course.
MELK ABBEY TOUR
BRATISLAVA CITY TOUR
Bratislava is located in the fertile Danube plain south of the Small Carpathians in the immediate vicinity of the borders with Austria and Hungary. During your sightseeing tour of Bratislava, you will first drive through the embassy district to the castle (Hrad), which towers high above the city and is considered the city’s landmark. From there you will enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the city! The castle was the residence of numerous Hungarian kings; eventually Maria Theresa settled here and the castle experienced its heyday. Afterwards, you will continue to the Old Town and walking together through the Old Town of Bratislava, you will see the Redoubt, the National Theater, the City Hall and some Baroque palaces and the city gates that testify to the k.u.k. Monarchy. Among other things, you will also meet the most famous man of Bratislava, Gullimann Cumil.
The baroque Benedictine Abbey of Melk towers impressively above the town at the entrance to the Danube in the Wachau region. Melk has been a spiritual and cultural center of the country for more than 1,000 years. The monastery has become literarily known, among other things, through Umberto Eco’s novel “The Name of the Rose”. The imposing baroque building is a visible expression of the importance of the monastery in the baroque period. A guided tour through the monastery will impressively convey the former importance of the monastery. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to explore the grounds yourself before the bus picks you up again and takes you back to the ship.
