Overview
Wachau’s vineyard-cloaked hills, fairytale castles, and riverside monasteries set the scene for a magical Austrian day trip from Vienna.
Highlights
- Ride in style from Vienna on a cozy, air-conditioned bus while your guide brings history to life, from Gottweig Abbey to the dramatic ruins of Aggstein Castle.
- A breezy 1.5-hour boat ride from Spitz to Melk reveals Schonbuhel Castle, riverside hamlets, and Melk Abbey’s golden domes glowing above the valley.
- Step inside Melk Abbey’s grand baroque halls and its library of ancient texts, then wander through its manicured gardens for breathtaking valley views.
- Walk Durnstein’s cobbled streets, see the ruins where Richard the Lionheart was held, then enjoy Melk’s abbey, gardens, or a peaceful riverside break.
- Fun fact: Melk Abbey hides a secret staircase linking the library to a concealed room where rare books were once protected from invaders.
