it was a lovely day, we visited Wachau, the ship was unforgettable and the visit to Melk with a wonderful guide. What I disliked was too short a stay at Durnstein. Overall, I would recommend this trip to other people

- Danube River
Glorified by Johann Strauss II in one of the most famous waltzes ever written, the blue Danube River runs through the center of Budapest, cutting the city in two parts - Buda and Pest. Not only is it the dividing line, it’s also a vantage point for the best views on magnificent Budapest. If you’re new to the city, there's probably no better way to explore it than by a scenic Danube cruise.
