Many of Europe’s historical cities were once built within city walls. Today, the well-preserved can still be visited. The best way to visit Krem an der Donau’s city walls is by visiting Steiner Tor, one of the 4 original gates that surrounded the city and allowed access in and out of the wall. Although only one has been preserved, it is still a sight to behold.
Castle lovers rejoice as there are plenty of options around Krems an der Donau. Whether you choose to visit Aggstein Castle, a 12th-century structure which offers stunning views over the Danube River or Schönbühel Castle, a fairy tale castle by the river, then you’re sure to have your breath taken away.
For those that want to enjoy the more light-hearted side of art, we suggest a visit to the Karikaturmuseum. The cartoon museum, and the only Austrian museum for satirical art, is a fantastic way to spend some of your time in Krems an der Donau. Filled with mainly political caricatures, humorous drawings and comics, there’s plenty to keep the eyes occupied, and provide a good chuckle, too!
Positioned centrally in the Austrian wine-making region, a visit to Winzer Krems for a tour of the local vineyard is a must for any budding sommelier or wine lover. Walk through the vineyards and learn about the winemaking process in full before sampling a glass (and perhaps buying a bottle to take home too).
