Austria is AWE-some! 🇦🇹
Here are five, can’t miss ports that call you can discover when you set-sail on a Danube cruise on the Suite Ships of Avalon:
💫 Vienna.
Having inspired empires, dynasties, winemakers and waltzes, Vienna is the setting for some of the most dramatic, well-orchestrated chapters in time. Just try to compose yourself as you experience this city that sets the stage for unrivalled music, art – and even, coffee – culture.
💫 Melk.
Voted the “Best Historic Destination” worldwide, Melk Abbey is a sight to behold! When you go, make sure to take in the abbey’s Imperial staircase, huge marble hall, its library and abbey church. Then, head outside to reward yourself with sweeping views from the panoramic terrace.
💫 Durnstein.
Surrounded by hilly vineyards, this enchanting medieval port is best-known for its iconic blue tower. Set in the heart of the picture-perfect Wachau Valley, arrive to Durnstein by boat or by bike on your Avalon cruise and enjoy world-class wines, a rich history and fairytale panoramas!
💫 Linz.
An electrifying blend between the old and the new, Linz’s gritty industrial past coexists seamlessly with its creative present. The city’s labyrinthine streets of the old town featuring modern bars, bistros and boutiques offer a charming air of authenticity.
💫 Krems.
Nestled in the postcard-perfect Wachau Valley, Krems exudes old-world charm with its cobbled streets, baroque architecture and scenic vineyards. Breathe-in serenity and sip some wine in this scenic port!
