Krems, Austria Cruise Port

Cruising along the Danube River, the port of Krems (also called Krems an der Donau), Austria is an old city whose documents date it back to at least the year 995, although archaeological evidence puts it at far older - at least 27,000 years old. Full of European charm and delightful architecture, it's also the home of a popular apricot brandy called Marillenschnaps. The fifth-largest city of Lower Austria, Krems has various divisions with its main attractions in either within the Old Town area or outside of Old Town. An interesting statue can be found in the Simandl fountain, where legend says the henpecked husband on his knees is begging to be let out of the house to spend time with friends (other stories claim he’s begging for love).

In case you thought all European museums were serious, you should visit the Karikaturmuseum or Cartoon Museum. Located at the center of the city, it's a unique look into the humor that shapes the residents here.
