An astonishing trip along the Wachau on a cruise. The sites are beguiling and engaging as the section of the river seems endless. Full review by Michael O

Traveled here while on the Danube for a river cruise. We transited this beautiful valley starting about 0830. Very pretty. I attached about half of the pictures I took. However, to be honest, the… Full review by RonT540

My wife and I took a 1-day trip with Vienna Sightseeing Tours to Wachau Valley, including a short cruise on the Danube, stops in Burnstein, Spitz, and Melk and an excellent tour of the Melk Abbey. T… Full review by Raintree_Thailand
Did you bike starting from Melk to Krems? If so, were you able to rent the bike and ride it one way and not have to make the round trip to return the bike?
A:
From googling, I believe I can use a bike rental, Nextbike. They have stations in Melk and Krems.
Hi, Can I ask who you rented bikes through? Did you do a bike tour through them? How strenuous and how long did you bike? Thank you so much, Pattie

I used bicycles provided by our cruise ship, Emerald Waterways. The bikes provided were on the small side and had only three speeds. The trip was led by a guide which meant no worries about getting lost and more importantly this was a one way trip. The trip was about 20 miles with a few steep parts but mostly it was not terribly challenging. Nonetheless it was 95 degrees during the trip making the experience a bit challenging. The trip was the highlight of the cruise down the Danubeas the Wachau Valley is beautiful.
Hey all there, Is it necessary to prebook the cruise from Durbstien to melk? Or can i jus buy them on the day at the dock? Can anyone help:)? Thanks Shravan

We were 18 ppl and bought cruise ticket at last minute , just before departure time . Only problem is no reserve seat number so if you want great fun of valley than you have to seat on top roof . For that you have to reach earlier than boarding start . It is really good natural scenery , reach earliest as u can . I think buying tickets is not issue .
This June I am staying in Melk for 2 days. Is it possible to get a ferry from Melk to Dürnstein and return by bus?
A:
From what we found while biking along the Danube was that the fast ferries don't take you down, only across. But don't quote me! You could do a longer boat ride down the river, but …
From what we found while biking along the Danube was that the fast ferries don't take you down, only across. But don't quote me! You could do a longer boat ride down the river, but those are at a leisurely, sight-seeing pace. If your goal is simply to cross to explore the town of Durnstein, then you'll have to travel further down to use the ferry to cross. Rent a bike, enjoy the ride and then cross at Spitz and go down to Durnstein. There are busses that will take you back. You should try Krems too. It's a pretty cool city.
What is a good winery to visit in wachau valley? Taking a day trip from Vienna and would like to stop by a good winery

Try the smaller, independent ones in Spitz. Just google for the day and time you will be there as they are open at different times on different days (and in different seasons). Spitz is …
Try the smaller, independent ones in Spitz. Just google for the day and time you will be there as they are open at different times on different days (and in different seasons). Spitz is a fantastic place for wineries and cafes. We highly recommend eating at Prankle's down by the river. We visited the domane wachau winery near Krems, and whilst we love their wine, the visit wasn't so great. It's a huge vineyard and quite commercial and not very personalised attention.
