The Danube, in the footsteps of Eurovelo 6

Bike and boat: the best way to discover the Danube

Have breakfast at sunrise while cruising along the Danube. Reach the riverbank in the morning and hop on your bike for an adventure along the banks... For us, this is the best way to discover the Danube. This bike and boat package guarantees you quality, original accommodation with full board. You cycle selected sections and return to your floating hotel at the end of the day for dinner and an overnight stay.

The Danube by bike between Passau, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade, and the Iron Gates

We offer several bike and boat itineraries on the Danube: you usually depart from Passau and return there at the end of your stay. Depending on the program chosen, you can discover different sections or the entire Danube if you opt for a long-term package (the "classic" duration is 8 days).

The Danube by bike and boat is an opportunity to discover one or more capitals that have made their home on the banks of the majestic river:

• Vienna: All our suggested trips pass through Vienna. The Austrian capital is the country's main cultural and economic center. The city boasts an impressive heritage and is full of museums, cafés, and activities.
• Bratislava: The Slovak capital can be seen from afar, whether by bike or boat. Its imposing castle is perched on a rock on the banks of the Danube. Exploring the historic city on foot is a delight.
• Budapest: The Hungarian capital also boasts a magnificent heritage. It offers a different appearance at night, when the historic buildings and bridges are beautifully illuminated. Climbing to the heights offers magnificent viewpoints.
• Belgrade: The Serbian capital is located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. It offers a stunning blend of tradition and modernity. It has been influenced by various civilizations throughout its history (Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, Austrians, and Serbians).

Our adventures on the Danube by bike and boat go as far downstream as the "Iron Gates." This splendid canyon offers an opportunity to cycle and sail on a wilder and less populated section of the Danube.

Danube by bike and EuroVelo 6: the benchmark for cycle tourism

The quality of the cycling infrastructure is impeccable on EuroVelo 6, which stretches from Saint-Brévin-les-Pins to the Black Sea. Cycle tourists know this, and it makes it the most traveled EuroVelo route, especially along the Danube. We also offer cycling holidays along the Danube on "classic" cycling tours.
