Places & attractions

Dürnstein Wachau: Your guide to the city on the Danube

Dürnstein Abbey in the Wachau looks best from the Danube. You can see the blue tower of the collegiate church below the castle from afar, if you approach the place by ship. The place does not offer many sights, but those that are are worth a visit. They bear witness to the great past of the place.

Piran, the fishing village on the Adriatic

At first glance, Piran doesn't look like a fishing village. The city's square, Piazza Tartini, is too grand and too big for that. In its midst, the namesake of the square, the city-born musician Giuseppe Tartini, watches over the place. In the harbor, however, we see the boats bringing fresh fish ashore.
