The Wonderful Danube River Tour

By Jason Myers

Preparing a Danube River tour for your next travel is almost a given. It is a great destination and will allow you to see a great many places in Eastern Europe. Stretching from Germany all the way to the Black Sea, there is more than sufficient here to hang on to you in amazement.

A normal Danube tour will start near Munich, Germany with boarding in Passau close to the Austrian boundary. In Austria famous stops are in Melk to tour the Benedictine monastery that is over 900 years old. Next is Vienna, capital city of Austria. At this place you may go to Hofburg Palace or the Opera House. Make certain to see the stunning view as you go through Wachau Valley. Just after the Austrian border the Danube runs straight through Bratislava, capitol of Slovakia. Here you will learn that visits to Old Town and Bratislava Castle are in order. Additionally don't fail to spot the ruins of Devin Castle. You can go here while in Bratislava and you will pass the ruins as you sail by on the Danube River.

Budapest, Hungary is the next capitol city on the regular listing of stops. In this amazing city you can see the Hungarian Crown Jewels at the Parliament or go to Castle Hill to observe Buda Castle. The first castle was finished in 1265 but the oldest division standing today dates back to the 14th century. Buda Castle also rests on the borders of the Danube. Probably the most magical and scenic part of your Danube trip will be while cruising through the Iron Gate. This is an 83 mile area on the border or Serbia and Romania. The Iron Gate is a string of gorges, a canal and the Iron Gate Dam.

Normally Bucharest, Romania is the final stop before the Danube clears out into the Black Sea. Here you can go to The National Museum of Art of Romania the cities most popular museum. afterward you can choose to see Palace of the Parliament or Arcul de Triumf, both 20th century landmarks.

These are only a few of the countless attractions that a Danube River tour can take you. I believe you are eager to begin planning this river cruise on your next tour to Eastern Europe.
