In a single afternoon you can tuck into the opulent St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral to hear a pipe organ concert, follow the painted cobblestone corridors of \u201cArt Alley\u201d to discover dozens of artisans&#8217; workshops and galleries, and climb the overgrown steps to the Capuchin Monastery to find an excellent view of the city. It\u2019s a town famous for its numerous floods, so you might want to consider packing a sturdy pair of rubber boots!

Spend the rest of your time in Vienna admiring royal settlements, impressive architecture, and world-famous works of art to boot.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Vienna is an important European historic capital. It is a center for art, history and music, which makes it sophisticated and rich in tradition. But then there is another side to it, that makes it very cosy and charming. The Viennese coffeehouses, for example, are an integral part of the city\u2019s charm. The art of relaxing over coffee and sweet pastries is something that no one can do better than the Viennese. &#8211; Vicki, <a href=\"http:\/\/bowsessed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bowsessed<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4178 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/viennaaustria-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"viennaaustria\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/viennaaustria-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/viennaaustria-900x507.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/viennaaustria.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/383;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last, but not least, Budapest is a hot spot for tourists from all over the world and one that your Danube river cruise will make sure you see.

I can only confirm that statement, because I have never really thought of visiting the Hungarian capital even though I grew up in Austria. But when I finally made my way to Budapest in December, 2015 I realized what I have missed all that time. Vienna might be the jewel of the old Habsburg Empire, but Budapest is the rare adventurous beauty that will leave you speechless and that you won&#8217;t forget for the rest of your life. What made me fall in love with Budapest was the young crowd embracing their culture and mixing it all up with open minded ideas. Opening up bars, amazing restaurants, great coffee shops and lovely concept store &#8211; the next generation has taken over the city like nowhere else in Europe! And that\u2019s what makes it so special to me. &#8211; Theresa, <a href=\"http:\/\/theriswardrobe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Theri&#8217;s Wardrobe<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"\/v\/river-danube\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Danube river cruise<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is exactly what you might be needing if you travel best with history, music and a glass of wine.

There are two things that make Budapest very special to me and that&#8217;s the fresh food and the history. This city has some of the best fresh markets I&#8217;ve ever been to in all my 30 years of life. I also love that their was so much history in this beautiful place.

I was always learning something new! &#8211; Melissa, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.melissachanel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melissa Channel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Budapest is a hidden European gem. Since it is somewhat off the beaten path, it was a great European city to visit in the summer, as you don&#8217;t get the crowds of tourists that plague places like Prague and Paris.

Landscapes which seem to be taken out of a fairytale are often dotted with modern boats, creating an enticing mix of modernity and bohemian spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Amsterdam remains one of my favourite cities in Europe &#8211; to me it just has everything. Whether it&#8217;s an afternoon by the canal with an organic smoothie, a browse around the Anne Frank Museum followed by Poffertjes or a wild one out on the town &#8211; Amsterdam excels.

It goes without saying that biking along the city&#8217;s canals on one of those long and sunny afternoons is an absolute must, while a stroll through the\u00a0charming little streets of Petite France in Strasbourg, is just as mandatory.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Strasbourg is a city which is unique due to it&#8217;s contradictions and cross-cultural quirks. The young and energetic vibe of a student city meshes with architecture and historical heritage from a medieval past. It&#8217;s an old and historic town, but also one which is young and dynamic.
