Krems river cruises, Austria

What's great about Krems river cruises?

Despite being just an hour’s drive from Vienna, Krems couldn’t be more different from the capital. It’s a quiet customer that’s content to stay under the radar, and visitors tend to slip into the laidback local style with ease. Cobbled squares and ice-cream-coloured buildings signal the centre of town, and there are plenty of cafés and wine bars serving the local speciality, Riesling. The most historic sights, like the 15th-century city gates and the Piarist Church, have been well looked after. There’s a love affair with the arts, as well, which becomes clear when you start to tally up the number of galleries.
