After a week of Danube cruise with A-ROSA Bella we have arrived safely in Passau. A shuttle bus of the A-ROSA had driven us and other guests from the Danube pier, which was about 45 minutes from Passau, to the main station Passau. Since our train only went back to Frankfurt in the afternoon, we still had enough time to take a closer look at Passau.

A-ROSA offers various river cruises with different durations and destinations on the Danube, depending on the season. We had deliberately chosen the 7-day route “Danube Classic – On calm water through the waves of European history”, as this route combines the major metropolises (with sufficient layover time), natural highlights and UNESCO world heritage sites – a perfect combination for us. The route with the “A-ROSA Bella” took us from Engelhartszell, via Vienna, Esztergom, Budapest, Bratislava and Melk back to Engelhartszell and Passau.

After our 2 days in Vienna, today we continued on the A-ROSA Bella on the Danube towards Budapest. Our next stop was Esztergom in Hungary, where our ship was laid out for almost 2.5 hours. The reason for the relatively short stay is that on the one hand the main attraction of Esztergom – the basilica – is only about 10 minutes away from the boat pier on foot and you can easily visit it in less than two hours. …
