Cruising the great rivers of Europe is what holiday dreams are made of! Along the way you'll see grand hilltop castles and chateaus, and visit medieval towns and atmospheric old-world cities.

Are you planning to do a Europe river cruise? In this episode of our online travel series, we bring you tips for ten amazing things to do on Danube River Cruise from Passau on the German/Austrian border, to the Hungarian capital Budapest, passing through Melk, Durnstein, Austria's capital Vienna, and the Slovakian capital Bratislava. For many Australian travellers, this experience forms part of a longer two-week cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest.

Some of the activities covered in this video will be included in your cruise fare; others you can do under your own steam. We soak up the Baroque beauty of Melk Abbey, do a wine tasting in gorgeous Durnstein, follow in the footsteps of the mighty Habsburgs at the Hofburg in Vienna, attend a Viennese Mozart concert, seek out the secret to the perfect Wiener schnitzel at Vienna’s oldest eatery, and much more.

min.10:48 Turkish March is wonderful. We love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

We enjoyed a Viking cruise between Budapest and Amsterdam last October. I would recommend it. There’s an awful lot to see and do each day. If you are travelling from Australia I recommend staying for two nights at each end. Thank you for an informative video. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

What do you think about a balcony? Do you spend enough time on the boat traveling during the day to make that worth it?
