Relics. Monuments. Fairytale castles and palaces. Healing thermal waters. It can only be Budapest - and we waste no time in exploring the best bits this morning on our guided tour of the city.

After, take a wander for yourself - the old town is the perfect walkable size.
Day 4 : Vienna
Location: Vienna
Accommodation: MS River Discovery II (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Good morning, Vienna. This magnificent city was home to a vast number of classical composers over the centuries - and for good reason. As you wander, the streets ooze opulence and charm at every turn. Kick the day off with an introductory city tour to get your bearings and learn about the city’s history, then you’re free to make your own discoveries. Don’t miss the opportunity to attend a concert this evening in one of the city’s impressive palaces. Relax and enjoy the uplifting melodies of Strauss or Mozart.
Day 5 : Dürnstein - Melk
Location: Dürnstein, Melk
Accommodation: MS River Discovery II (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Situated on an impossibly beautiful curve on the Danube, Dürnstein may well be the town that has it all. Charming buildings. A ruined hilltop castle. Stunning surrounding scenery. What’s more, it has a fascinating history: its grand castle walls once imprisoned Richard I of England - Richard the Lionheart. Stroll freely through the cobbled lanes, or perhaps opt for our orientation and wine tasting tour. We sail to Melk and dock overnight.
Day 6 : Melk - Linz
Location: Melk, Linz
Accommodation: MS River Discovery II (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning we take a tour of Melk’s imposing Benedictine abbey.

This afternoon we’ll sail towards Linz, where we’ll dock overnight.
