A perfect day trip from Vienna with lots of history and scenic beauty. Don't miss one of the many Heurigers and make sure to taste the top class Grüner Veltliners and some of their apricot liquor.

This is by far the most lovely section along the Danube. At each bend and turn of the river, a new quaint village unfolds, and you also see beautiful landscapes and church steeples. Try to spend more than a day or two in the towns, as you will want to linger and explore! More
