Begin with the splendid Melk Abbey, a jewel of Baroque architecture rising above the Danube.

From the panoramic terrace, soak in sweeping views of the Wachau Valley’s vine‑clad hills and river bends.

Experience the lively heart of the city at Marienplatz with its famous Glockenspiel, unwind in the sprawling Englischer Garten, or stroll through the grounds of Nymphenburg Palace. Enjoy Bavarian culture at the world‑famous Hofbräuhaus, discover artistic treasures at the Pinakotheken museums, and take in panoramic vistas from St. Peter’s Church tower or the Olympiaturm, especially enchanting at sunset.
