KLOSTERNEUBURG MONASTERY (STIFT KLOSTERNEUBURG)

There is much to discover where heaven and earth meet, and we believe that is when you visit the Klosterneuburg Monastery's Treasure Chamber with the Archduke’s Hat, the annual exhibition and the Monastery Museum. You have access to a range of guided tours throughout the day at each section with this ticket. Treasure Chamber The showpiece of the Treasure Chamber is the Holy Crown of Austria, the Austrian Archducal Hat! This one artifact makes the Treasure Chamber at Klosterneuburg one of the most important historical attractions in all of Austria. Monastery Museum For centuries now, the monastery has commissioned and acquired works of ecclesiastical art. Located in the Archdukes' Rooms (on the 2nd floor of the Imperial Wing), you'll find a cross-section of the Monastery's collections across 12 halls. Admire late-Gothic panel paintings, considered to be of regional significance to the museum, amidst other works of art. You'll also find religious art from the 20th and 21st centuries here at the Gallery of Modern Art.

Start your day with a delicious continental breakfast on board the MS Kaiserin Elisabeth II, a luxurious ship that will take you from Vienna to the Wachau Valley. As you sail along the Danube, admire the skyline of Vienna, the Kahlenberg mountain, and the Klosterneuburg monastery. You will also pass by the garden city of Tulln, where you can see the Egon Schiele Museum and the Roman Museum. Aboard the cruise, you'll also enjoy a lunchtime snack of veal goulash with pastries. Explore the Charming Village of Dürnstein After about 6 hours of cruising, you will arrive at Dürnstein, a picturesque village with a blue church tower and a historic castle. Here, with 2 hrs to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site on your own, visit the ruins of Dürnstein Castle, where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. You can also visit the gothic hall, the Danube terrace, and the baroque collegiate church at Dürnstein Abbey or take a stroll through the cobblestone streets, shop for local handicrafts, and taste some of the famous Wachau wines. You can also opt for the Bratislava cruise if you don't have enough time to cover the other two attractions. A Voyage Full of Culinary Surprises Return to the vessel for a traditional apple and curd strudel treat before indulging in a 4-course dinner buffet, featuring a range of Austrian favorites, from chicken stroganoff to vegetarian lasagna, and desserts. As the stars adorn the sky, enjoy the flavors of Austria amidst the serenity of the Danube.
