Escape from everyday life and enjoy a magical journey along the Danube during the festive season. In just five days, you will discover the cultural highlights of Passau, Vienna, Dürnstein, Melk and Linz - four of the most fascinating cities along the Danube that shine in a very special light during Advent.
Your journey begins in the three-river city of Passau and continues to Vienna, where an impressive city tour awaits you. You will experience the magnificent buildings of Vienna's old town, stroll along the Ringstrasse and visit important sights such as St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Hofburg Palace. In the winding alleyways of the old town, you can enjoy the scent of chestnuts and punch - especially in December, when the numerous Christmas markets tempt you with artistic decorations, handmade arts and crafts and sweet treats.
Medieval charm awaits you in Dürnstein, picturesquely nestled in the vineyards of Wachau. Continue to Melk, where you will visit the impressive Melk Abbey, one of the most important Baroque buildings in Europe.
Linz, the cultural capital on the Danube, welcomes you with a varied program. In addition to its modern architecture and lively cultural scene, the city is particularly popular during Advent with its festively decorated streets and the famous Christmas Market on the main square.
In November, visits to historic abbeys and monasteries are on the agenda, ideal for culture-loving travelers. In the run-up to Christmas, your trip will be accompanied by atmospheric music, festive lights and regional specialties.
Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of these special places and experience the festive atmosphere of the Danube region - an unforgettable break from everyday life that will stay with you for a long time.
