Cruising the great rivers of Europe is what holiday dreams are made of. Along the way you'll see grand hilltop castles and chateaus, and visit medieval towns and atmospheric old-world cities. And unlike doing a coach tour of Europe, the big attraction of a river cruise is that you only have to unpack once. All meals on board are generally included in your fare, and in most cases alcohol served with meals is also part of the package.
Are you planning to do a Europe river cruise? In this episode of our online travel series, we bring you tips for ten amazing things to do on Danube River Cruise from Passau on the German/Austrian border, to the Hungarian capital Budapest, passing through Melk, Durnstein, Austria's capital Vienna, and the Slovakian capital Bratislava. For many Australian travellers, this experience forms part of a longer two-week cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest.
Some of the activities covered in this video will be included in your cruise fare; others you can do under your own steam. We soak up the Baroque beauty of Melk Abbey, do a wine tasting in gorgeous Durnstein, follow in the footsteps of the mighty Habsburgs at the Hofburg in Vienna, attend a Viennese Mozart concert, seek out the secret to the perfect Wiener schnitzel at Vienna’s oldest eatery, and much more.
