Cruising the great rivers of Europe is what holiday dreams are made of! Along the way you'll see grand hilltop castles and chateaus, and visit medieval towns and atmospheric old-world cities.
Are you planning to do a Europe river cruise? In this episode of our online travel series, we bring you tips for ten amazing things to do on Danube River Cruise from Passau on the German/Austrian border, to the Hungarian capital Budapest, passing through Melk, Durnstein, Austria's capital Vienna, and the Slovakian capital Bratislava. For many Australian travellers, this experience forms part of a longer two-week cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest.
Some of the activities covered in this video will be included in your cruise fare; others you can do under your own steam. We soak up the Baroque beauty of Melk Abbey, do a wine tasting in gorgeous Durnstein, follow in the footsteps of the mighty Habsburgs at the Hofburg in Vienna, attend a Viennese Mozart concert, seek out the secret to the perfect Wiener schnitzel at Vienna’s oldest eatery, and much more.

Hi there. We hope you found this video inspiring. If you are planning to book your first Europe river cruise, check out these tips on our website: topoztours.com.au/top-tips-for-first-time-europe-river-cruisers/. Adam @ TOT

min.10:48 Turkish March is wonderful. We love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

[@craigmdarling]

Very tempting

[@TopOzTours]

You will love it. It makes a fabulous holiday.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

We enjoyed a Viking cruise between Budapest and Amsterdam last October. I would recommend it. There’s an awful lot to see and do each day. If you are travelling from Australia I recommend staying for two nights at each end. Thank you for an informative video. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@TopOzTours]

Hey Scott. Our pleasure! It was such a fabulous experience. Great tip too. We definitely needed more time in Budapest. Next time! Adam

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

@@TopOzTours Hi Adam, just to add a bit. Our hotels were included in the Viking deal, they included all transfers from hotels, airports and the ship and made the whole experience stress free. The two nights in Budapest helped us get over the hellish trip from Sydney, plus we had another day in Budapest living on the ship and doing excursions including those baths. Have a good evening

What do you think about a balcony? Do you spend enough time on the boat traveling during the day to make that worth it?

[@TopOzTours]

Hi there. Good question. Large picture windows that open to let fresh air in are are enough I think (like Juliette-style balconies). Suites generally have larger balconies you can sit out on, but you can go up on deck for that. Adam

[@rseymour1295]

We went on a Danube cruise had had a balcony cabin. You can leave your balcony doors open and to hear the sound of the gentle river is so amazing and it puts you to sleep. I would absolutely recommend balcony for river cruises. With ocean cruises, not so much because there's just so much else going on.

[@corinnemcleod1804]

What time of the year did you do this river cruise?

[@TopOzTours]

Hi Corrine. It was May/June. It was an amazing experience. I loved it. Regards. Adam

[@corinnemcleod1804]

Thank you, the weather looked great, I don't want to go when it's too warm

[@TopOzTours]

The weather was perfect.
