European Jewels; Amsterdam to Budapest - August 2025

Sailing the iconic Rhine, Main & Danube rivers as we travelled from Amsterdam to Budapest.

Visiting remarkable cities, towns, castles, abbey's  - some of my highlights included;

Cologne, Germany - spanning the Rhine River for 2000 years, the city is lovely

Rhine Valley - with its vineyards, vistas & castles... so many castles!

Bavaria - full of beauty & sweet villages all along the River Main, Germany

Pretty Passau, Germany a charming medieval town that lies at the confulence of the Danube, Inn & Ilz rivers

Vienna, Austria - charming, creative, beautiful & Mozarts home during some of his most creative & successful years

Beautiful Budapest, Hungary - people, buildings, bridges and a rich & very challenging history - a wonderful city!

I had the pleasure of travelling with Uniworld, onboard the River Duchess - this all inclusive, luxury river cruise was wonderful. Incredible food, lovely crew & staff and beautiful decor.
