A walled medieval city of half-timbered houses below its imperial castle, and home to one of Germany's best-known Christmas markets.

A medieval city that never lost its centre. The Stone Bridge is nine hundred years old and still the way you walk into town.

Where the Inn and the Ilz meet the Danube, under an Italianate baroque cathedral and the largest church organ in Europe.
Ashore

A golden baroque Benedictine abbey on a rock above the Danube, at the western gate of the Wachau.
Ashore
Vienna
Day 5–6
Vienna
The Ringstrasse, the Hofburg and the old coffee houses, all within an easy walk of one another. A city that rewards an unhurried afternoon.

Buda on its hill, Pest on the flat, and the Chain Bridge lit between them. The finest arrival on any European river.
