  WACHAU VALLEY Wachau Valley is an Austrian region, located near the Danube River, west of Vienna. It is known for is hills, wineyards and castle. I went to this beautiful town of Durnstein . From Vienna, I took a train to Krems and in about 1.5 hours I reached there. I explored this beautiful town which has a population of only 25000. Amazing stores and shops all around made me fell in love with this place.  After that, I visited Durnstein, from Krems I took a bus and reached Durnstein in about 20 minutes. THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM ❤❤❤❤💖💖💖 This day trip was a memorable one❤ I hiked to the Drnstein castle which was a moderate trekking, better to wear shoes because slope is very slippery. It looked like an abandoned castle but had some great and stunning views of the town.  I really wished I had more time to see, but unfortunately my battery got down, there was no Wifi or charging points in any of this area. I hope to go here again !! Check out complete vlog about day trip ...

As a solo Traveller, I booked my stay at IBIS Budget hotel that was a walking distance to main attractions and just adjacent to train and bus station. Bollywood movie; PK has been shot here but this places is still an absolute hidden gem.              First thing I did was to take a self guided walking tour for this city.

It is an absolute delight to have it in Belgium where it ...
