    Passau, Germany
    • Passau, Germany
    Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one, as three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame-Europe's largest pipe organ-or "Let's Go" with an invigorating riverside hike.

You can also opt for a tasting, or learn all about the world's costliest spice from the Wachau Valley's only saffron grower. You have two ports of call in the incredibly scenic valley, Melk and Durnstein, and an assortment of delightful ways to explore this lovely region. ...

Although it's not a large city, Bratislava has played a leading role in the politics and culture of the region for many centuries, and it is well worth a visit. If you opt for the walking tour today, you may choose to leave the ship by bus in Vienna and start your excursion early. This would give you time for lunch on your own in town, as well as some additional free time to enjoy Bratislava after your tour ends. ...
