Danube Bike Tours

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN CYCLING ALONG THE DANUBE

Europe’s longest river, the Danube runs through the heart of the continent. On its banks lie some of the most beautiful and historic cities in the world, including Vienna, Passau, and Budapest. On our Danube cycling holidays, experience central Europe in a new light. Medieval castles, imperial palaces, charming villages and sprawling vineyards can all be found along the river’s waters. This also makes the region fantastic for our bike and boat tours – cycle to a new area each day, where your premium barge is waiting you, or simply lounge on deck as the scenery passes you by.

Connecting the many cultures and regions of central Europe, the Danube has always nurtured a varied and delicious cuisine. From the strudels of Austria and goulash of Hungary to even some Turkish influence. You’ll be delighted by what’s on offer here. The wine from this region is also delicious, and a real hidden gem. Mostly white, you’ll find all kinds of wine here that pairs perfectly with the local cuisine. And we can’t forget the beers too which make the perfect post-pedalling reward.

On our Danube cycling holidays, expect leisurely cycle routes, vibrant cultures, and historic sights.

Things to Do Along the Danube

Imperial Cities

Imperial Cities

Vienna and Budapest, two of the most beautiful cities in Europe, lie along the banks of the Danube. Once part of the same empire, they are grand, breathtaking, and both offer something different to experience. In Vienna, elegant opera houses and palaces showcase the architectural wonders of Austria. In Budapest, enjoy the exciting culture and traditional activities like the many bath houses the city is known for.

Cultural Melting Pot

Cultural Melting Pot

Many cultures can be found along the Danube, and it’s a delight to experience them all whilst cycling here. We believe the local cuisine is the best way to understand a region’s culture, and the Danube is no different. All along the river, regional specialities and traditional delicacies are on full show. In Austria, the delicate pastries and apple flavourings of the deserts are always delicious. In Hungary, the rich spices and hearty flavours contrast wonderfully to this.
