Thanks to the Wachau's public mobility concept, the region can be easily reached and experienced without a car. Buses run every hour on the north bank and every two hours on the south bank. The three Danube ferries make it possible to switch between the north and south banks at any time.
With the Wachau day ticket, you can use the buses on lines 715, 717, 718, 719 and 720, 721 between Melk and Krems for just € 12 for one day. In addition, the use of the three Danube ferries for passengers is included (costs for vehicles are to be paid separately). For children up to the age of 15, the day ticket costs € 6.
