About your trip
Your day trip from Vienna first takes you to Melk, where you'll visit the stunning hilltop abbey with its golden halls and beautiful views of the Danube. Next, you'll discover Dürnstein, a pretty riverside town with its famous blue church tower and historic castle ruins perched above vineyards. Stroll through its charming streets, perhaps sample local wines, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this Wachau Valley gem. When you've explored both places, your driver will bring you comfortably back to Vienna, giving you a perfect taste of Austria's riverside highlights without any travel hassles.
