Nestled in Austria’s Wachau Valley, Dürnstein is a dreamscape of medieval charm, rolling vineyards, and breathtaking river views. This picturesque village is famous for its storybook castle ruins, where Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned, and its cobbled streets lined with charming cafés and wine taverns serving world-class Grüner Veltliner.
Cruise guests will love wandering through the town’s blue Baroque abbey, savoring apricot delicacies, and soaking in the romance of one of the Danube’s most enchanting stops. Whether you’re sipping wine on a terrace or hiking up to the ruins for a panoramic view, Dürnstein is a place that lingers in your heart long after you leave.
