Rhine Main and Danube (Viva - Summer Magic from Basel to Vienna)

Overview

Experience summer along the majestic waterways of Europe - the Rhine, Main and Danube - in a very special way. Your journey begins in Basel, where the Rhine flows gently out of the Alps. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, blooming meadows and green valleys, a city rich in culinary and cultural delights awaits you, making it the perfect place to start.

In Strasbourg, the heart of Alsace, marvel at the impressive Gothic cathedral and enjoy a stroll through the picturesque tanners' quarter as the city glows in warm sunlight. Continue on to Frankfurt, where glass skyscrapers coexist harmoniously with old half-timbered houses - an exciting contrast between tradition and modernity.

Würzburg impresses with its baroque residence, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a magnificent view of the vineyards. In Nuremberg, medieval city walls, romantic squares and lively summer festivals bring history to life.

Your journey continues to Linz, where modern art and traditional culture come together. In Melk, the magnificent Melk Abbey, situated high above the Danube, impresses with a fantastic view of the summery river landscape.

The crowning glory of your trip is Vienna - the city of music and Empress Sisi. Stroll through the magnificent palace gardens, be enchanted by a concert or enjoy a glass of wine in a cozy pub garden. This trip is a true summer dream along the Alps and the great rivers of Europe - full of beauty, history and unforgettable moments.
