Hidden Wachau Valley
What your day looks like
The Danube Valley between Krems and Melk—known as the Wachau— is as scenic and romantic as Austria gets: famous white wines … castle ruins … charming towns surrounded by steep vineyards … and last but not least, the glorious Melk Abbey. On our day trip, we cover the most scenic 40 Kilometres of the Wachau Valley while visiting exclusive wineries. Later we’ll end the day with a boat cruise on the Danube and a brief stop at Melk Abbey for photos. On this spectacular day trip, you’ll fall in love with Austria’s wines and the country’s stunning scenery. Make this small-group tour the highlight of your travels!
