After visiting the Abbey, high up on the hill we walked through and around the lovely small town of Melk on the way back to our cruise ship. There are many interesting small shops selling what looked like good quality items. In addition there are many small cafes and bars with outdoor seating just to sit and people watch. If you are on a river cruise take advantage of walking through this small town to return to the ship. The walk is about twenty minutes but you will not be disappointed!
Crusing down the Danube River offers beautiful views of the Wachau area, and a stop at Melk makes it all the more wonderful. We did this in the fall as the leaves were turning, adding even more beauty to the scenery.
We loved the Danube cruise to the Monestary at Melk and the Wachau area. We had a beautiful day-the only non rainy day of our time in Vienna. Cruise had great food and drinks, awesome views and a chance to talk to other travelers from different places. Worth the $.
I made a day trip from vienna, got the combo ticket from westbahnhof station (49 euros for train to Melk, entrance to the abbey , boat trip to krems & train back to Wien (not westbahnhof) . all was great, especially the abbey, Krems wasn't special , but can stay in the park near the train station, till the time of departure of train... worth a visit if the weather is good.....
A wonderful trip from Melk to Krems. Do not waste it looking to try the wines in the Dömane Wachau wine shop. The treatment of employees is rude, unacceptable.
Brilliant! Grapes hanging on the vine, friendly locals, perfectly scenery... what more could a girl ask for?
