    More about Melk

    Why go to Melk?

    Pros:

    Visit stunning Melk Abbey, which was the inspiration for a famous novel

    Cons:

    This small port has uneven cobblestone streets that can make walking a challenge

    Bottom Line:

    Melk is a quiet, peaceful place full of history

    Good to Know?

    Be aware: Due to age, flooding and construction, Melk's cobblestone streets have taken a beating and may be dangerously uneven in patches.

    Getting Around?

    Don't be afraid to wander around on your own in Melk; it's a relatively small port, so it's difficult to get lost. One main path leads you into town from your ship, and a small town center with shops and a few eateries serves as the backdrop for your stroll.
