Destination EU Rivers
Brief Description 4 night River Cruise sailing from Vienna to Budapest
Type of Cruise River
Departure Date 13 Oct 2024
Cruise Description Small but mighty could also be the name of this cruise. In just five days you can explore some of the most beautiful cities in Europe. While they are located close to each other and share many a tradition, the differences between the countries and cities are quickly apparent. Spend a full day in Bratislava's well-preserved Old Town, admire the treasures of Esztergom Basilica, and raise your glass of Hungarian wine to a fully successful cruise.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA
This is the city of classical music. It’s Mozart and Strauss. It's street art on a sandy beach and fun in the countryside. It’s bohemia and bourgeoisie and the finest baroque. And of course Art Nouveau. It’s bad-tempered waiters in great coffee houses. It’s Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt and Adolf Loos and Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Sisi and many others. It is the Spanish Riding School, an event for horse lovers. And of course it is the city of Schmah (jokes anyone?) and scandals, on which the Viennese feast like cows on fresh grass on the alpine pasture. Last but not least: Vienna is the city on the Danube. Although it was not always so. The Viennese Danube river front is an artificial structure which was only created in the 19th century. Before that, the Danube flowed past Vienna in many arms through floodplains and uninhabited areas. Today, the Riverside can also dock right in front of the city. And then it starts. Marvel, wonder and rejoice. Vienna is a dream.

ESZTERGOM, HUNGARY
The Basilica of Esztergom is the largest church in the country, and the seat of the Hungarian Catholic Church. Its treasury was opened in 1886 with the aim of preserving and exhibiting liturgical instruments and houses outstanding masterpieces of artistic and historical value. One such piece is the gold cross from France known as Calvary of King Matthias, weighing over five kilograms. Special features of this region include the fortress ruins of Visegrad and the excellent wineries.

VISEGRAD, HUNGARY
Visegrad is a small town located in Hungary, on the banks of the Danube river. It is known for its picturesque scenery, rich history, and impressive medieval fortress. Visitors can explore the town's historic center, which features well-preserved buildings and streets that date back to the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian periods. One of the main attractions in Visegrad is the Visegrad Castle, which offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and the Danube river. The town is also home to several thermal spas and wellness centers, making it a popular destination for relaxation and rejuvenation. Additionally, Visegrad is known for its traditional Hungarian cuisine, including hearty stews and grilled meats, as well as its delicious local wines.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
It is no coincidence that many filmmakers have chosen Budapest as a backdrop. Take EVITA (1996), for example – most of the scenes were shot not in Buenos Aires, but in Budapest. Anyone walking through the city, in the shadow of the State Opera House or across elegant Szabadsag ter (Freedom Square) in the V. district, sees and feels it immediately. Budapest impresses. It is a metropolis and a spa city. It is Paris, Florence and Vienna in one. Many buildings were copied here. In fact, the Palais Batthyany, is an exact copy of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. A must: the castle district. Pastel-colored houses, built by their owners to be close to the Royal Palace. Or the National Gallery. Or the Labyrinth: it also served as a prison. Its most famous inmate: Vlad Tepes from Transylvania, who went down in history and stories as Count Dracula. And another suggestion. It is best to simply drift through Budapest. Then you will always come across enchanting stores like the Madison Perfumery. It is housed in the rooms of a 19th-century pharmacy. Not only the fragrances are enchanting, but also the furniture and accessories in the back room, all of which are original.
