OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS FROM VIENNA
Vienna’s outskirts are especially attractive: romantic landscapes and picturesque villages invite hiking.

Take a boat trip on the “Wachau” river, along a particularly beautiful stretch of the Danube Valley. You will be amazed  by the intensity and variety of  landscapes: view the Benedictine Abbey of Melk, which stands majestically on a high rock on the river, the wine villages of Spitz, Dürnstein and Weißenkirchen,  surrounded  by the hills on which grapes  mature to make fine wines.

The southern Vienna Woods can be visited in a half-day tour; do not miss the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz, and the modest hunting lodge in Mayerling, which receives visitors from around the world attracted by the mysterious history of the death of Crown Prince Rudolf of Hapsburg. You will also be delighted with the idyllic spa town of Baden (20 km south of Vienna) with its sulphurous thermal baths, casino and racetrack.

Lake Neusiedl to the southeast is about one hour from Vienna. This is the  largest steppe lake in Central Europe and Austria’s largest lake, located in the foreground  of the small Hungarian plain, surrounded by a thick cane grove which shelters a unique bird life. The wine villages around the lake such as Rust or Mörbisch, have a special charm. Operetta performances on a stage on the lake are held here during the summer.

The Twin City Liner on the Danube will take you in just 75 minutes from Vienna to Bratislava, the centre of the capital of Slovakia, especially impressive for its romantic old town and its fortress.
