The number of glorious and historical cities in the heart of Europe, built by a river is enormous. Some of those include Bucharest, Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna, Duisburg, Munich, Basel, Strasburg, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Bonn, and Rotterdam.
Europe has a very extensive river network which interconnects various European countries and even today many transports of good take place through the rivers. Protecting that network is of very high priority for most European countries as many economies rely hugely on that when it comes to transporting goods and trading. Travelling in central Europe by land is not mandatory as the rivers can get you virtually anywhere: from the south to the north and from the east to the west.
What not many people know though, is that the river artery is still very alive and there are many boats passengers can choose from. One of the nicest experiences though, is a Luxury Cruise on the mighty Rhine for example, for all those who couldn’t afford a cruise in the open sea because of financial or time constraints. Rhine River Cruises are available in Germany, France, Switzerland and Holland and are quite popular. The scenery changes rapidly with medieval towns, beautiful cities, enormous churches, fairytale castles, historical points of interest, narrow streets and canals.
River Cruises are not habits of some older times as more and more young people participate. Cost and time for planning are much lower compared to a cruise into the open sea. Unlike the sea, it is unlikely to feel sick in a river cruise while the chance of expreriencing bad weather is very small if any! Sharing a river cruise in a boat with your favourite ones should be a memorable and wonderful experience.
