Krems
Wachau Valley, Austria


Travel and LeisureFodorsUSA TodayNew York TimesNational GeographicWashington PostVogue
Once Vienna's equal in size, Krems still guards the Wachau Valley's entrance.
Officially Krems an der Donau ("Krems on the Danube",) Krems is no longer the size of Vienna, as it was during its 12th-century heyday, but it still punches above its weight, thanks to its wines and Marillenschnaps apricot brandy. Located at the eastern entrance to the Wachau Valley, Krems' grand buildings deserve a visit, and its wines a tasting or two.
