Add an ExtensionOutside your stateroom, a new day breaks. Green slopes lead up to a hilltop castle, and Dürnstein’s blue bell tower comes into view round a sweeping bend in the Danube. Fresh sights unfold daily, from Budapest’s markets and museums to Vienna’s parks and palaces. Today’s agenda on this Danube River cruise walking tour? A morning stroll through cobbled streets to the local Kaffee Konditorei for coffee and cream-laden pastries. Later, a panoramic walk with your guide through the Wachau Valley, lunch amidst terraced vineyards and apricot orchards, and an afternoon visit to Melk’s Baroque monastery. Come sunset, you’ll be back on board, sipping glasses of Grüner Veltliner and cruising towards Bavaria. But first, Austria calls. Slip into your walking shoes and step outside.
