Passau is an old Bavarian city not far from the Austrian border. The rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz flow together in Passau, which is why it is also called the "Three-River City". One of the many sights is the Veste Oberhaus, which served as the residence of the noble bishop of the high monastery of Passau. Passau is the starting point of our cruises on the Danube.
Vienna is the capital of Austria and, with about 2.8 million people, is home to about one third of the total Austrian population and has a lot to offer both culturally and culinary. The Sacher Torte and the Wiener Schnitzel are known and loved almost worldwide. But Vienna also offers many sights and highlights that you can visit on our city tours and excursions.
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and is located near the border triangle where the borders of Slovakia, Hungary and Austria meet. This makes Bratislava the only capital in the world that borders more than one neighbouring country. Due to its location, Bratislava has been influenced by many religions and cultures in the past, which is still reflected in the cityscape today. During our Danube cruises we offer you the opportunity to take part in a guided tour of Bratislava and get to know this interesting city
Linz is the provincial capital of Upper Austria. Thanks to its location directly on the Danube, Linz was able to gain economic strength very early on. The mixture of historic buildings and squares give the city a unique urban backdrop. On selected tours, you have the opportunity to explore the Pöstlingberg on an excursion. In addition to the pilgrimage basilica, a breathtaking view over the city awaits you on the 539 m high Pöstlingberg. Another highlight is the night watchman tour of Linz. Explore the center of Linz at night around the baroque main square and learn many interesting historical anecdotes from the city's history. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
