Day 8 Passau–Linz, Austria
(Wed.) Passau, ideally located at the confluence of the Rivers Inn, Ilz, and Danube, is home to St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the world’s largest church organ with more than 17,000 pipes. An optional full-day excursion to Salzburg takes in the popular Sound of Music sights. Linz, Austria’s third-largest town, lies on both banks of the Danube and is an important industrial town and busy river port. (FB,L,D)

Day 9 Melk–Vienna

Day 10 Vienna

Days 11-12 Budapest, Hungary
(Sat. and Sun.) Spanning the banks of the Danube, Budapest is the most cosmopolitan city in Eastern Europe. Seven bridges, including the famous Chain and Elisabeth Bridges, connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left. The massive hilltop castle complex with FISHERMEN’S BASTION and the Matthias Church are sights not to be missed. Shop for renowned peasant embroidery, Herend porcelain, and paprika. Not far from the city and an integral part of Hungarian rural life is the PUSZTA, vast grasslands where the country’s beloved fiery horses are reared. (FB,L,D daily)

Day 13 Kalocsa

Day 16 Iron Gates
(Thu.) The Serbian fortresses of Smederevo and Golubac and the Trajan Table marking the Roman conquest of Dacia are impressive sights on the right bank of the Danube.

Day 17 Svistov, Bulgaria–Veliko Tarnovo–Arbanassi–Rousse

(FB,L,D)

Day 19 Oltenita (Disembarkation)–Bucharest
(Sun.) Bucharest, Romania’s lively capital, is only a short drive from Oltenita. Its wide boulevards and Arc de Triomphe have earned it the name “Paris of the East.” The impressive Parliament Building is the second-largest building in the world, after the Pentagon. Royal Palace Square was the scene of riots in 1989, which led to the collapse of the communist dictatorship. The former Royal Palace now houses the NATIONAL ART MUSEUM. (FB)
