Trip to the city of Melk, Austria

Melk is a small village at the footsteps of the eponymous abbey.

Very small city center with a main pedestrian route. Pretty crowded with all the bus touring tourists. Good place to buy some souvenirs from the Wachau valley.

Trip to Stift Melk Abbey, Austria

We saw it from the highway (Passau - Vienna) and always wanted to see what's there. An yellow, huge complex that always caught our eyes even if passing by at 130 km/h.

It's an abbey of Benedictine monks. Several parts of it can be visited for EUR 11,50 per person for a guided tour.
