About the Location

You might hear some people say Krems is an enchanting, but small town. But thanks to its beautiful location on the Danube, it’s a hotspot for thousands of tourists who visit the historic old town every year. It’s also close to Austria's capital, Vienna. Trains run every hour and the city’s famous sights and landmarks are just an hour away.
