If you like traveling by ship and this is the best, in your opinion, way to get to know the world, then almost all the rivers of Europe are at your disposal
Rhine
Start your trip from Amsterdam or Basel. But what direction would not be chosen later, the trip will be incredibly interesting.
During the trip, there is an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the Gothic cathedrals of ancient cities and medieval fortresses on the banks of the Rhine - these are sixty-four kilometers of charming castles, magnificent spiers and cathedrals. The Lorelei rock attracts attention. According to legend, a young girl threw herself off her without receiving an answer to her feelings.
On a river cruise on the Rhine, a must-see is the vineyards of Rüdesheim and Heidelberg.
Hay
This is already a trip to France. The beginning of the journey along the Seine, of course, is Paris, and further - to the north, through the territory of Normandy and all the way to the English Channel in Le Havre. A stop should be made in Rouen, the city that became the place of execution of Jeanne d'Arc.
Douro
In this case, the route will run through the territories of Portugal and Spain. The river runs through absolutely charming places. At the beginning of the path is the city of Porto, then the path goes downstream to the border with Spain.
Traditional Portuguese entertainment is wine tasting. You shouldn't give up the opportunity to appreciate excellent wines. Make sure to stop to see the Lamega and its magnificent eighteenth-century church. And get ready to climb the 866 steps of the Baroque staircase.
Danube
The list of countries through which the Danube passes is quite extensive. These are: Austria; Hungary; Serbia; Croatia; Bulgaria; Romania. The Danube takes its origin in the Black Forest (Germany) and only then sets off on its long journey.
Vienna traditionally gives a lot of impressions. After all, it is she who is considered the most beautiful city in Europe. But no less delight will cause a visit to Budapest, Salzburg and Linz.
Elbe
The Elbe is a river that originates in the Czech Republic and ends in Germany. Although Prague and Berlin are somewhat aloof during the river cruise, there are many other equally charming cities along the way. For example, in Dresden, a must-see is a porcelain house. And the Czech town of Litomerice will provide guests with charming views.
Traveling by water is the best and unhurried way to get to know Europe.
