Danube Valley: Day Trip from Vienna

You can stick to the grand, café-lined promenades of Vienna. But off the tourist trail, there's plenty more to see.

This day's excursion takes you from Vienna to postcard-perfect Wachau, along the famous Danube River.

In winter, you'll have lunch and an extended look around Krems and Dürnstein. In summer, embark on a boat ride down the Danube to see the best of the valley from the water.
