AAA Traveler - Summer 2018 - 29
Perhaps because 240 miles of the Danube's length is
in Hungary, it's only fitting that its capital, Budapest,
is often called the "Queen of the Danube."
The sight of its spires, bridges and stately Parliament
building illuminated against the night sky is especially
memorable when viewed from the river. Sailing south
along the Great Hungarian Plain, fertile ground for
fields of brilliantly red poppies and paprika peppers,
the ships call at towns like Kalocsa and Mohacs, places
to enjoy paprika-spiced cuisine and local wines, shop
for handmade embroidery and witness a traditional
Hungarian horse show.
"The continent's second longest
river after the Volga, the Danube
flows for nearly 1,800 miles
and has inspired everyone from
composers to winemakers and
landscape artists."

Belgrade
Belgrade, where the Danube joins the Sava River and
the plains of Central Europe meet the Balkans, is one of
Europe's oldest capitals and the place to absorb the artistic
richness of Serbian culture, especially in Kalemegdan, a
vast park along the riverbanks with a fortress, museums,
medieval fortifications and gardens. Also lining the
riverbanks are numerous splavovi, floating restaurants
and nightclubs that are part of the city's vibrant nightlife.

Iron Gate gorge
With Serbia and Romania on either side, the Danube's
most ruggedly scenic stretch awaits at the Iron Gate, a
narrow gorge lined with steep cliffs carved between the
Carpathian and Balkan mountains. More glorious scenery
is ahead as the river makes its way past Bulgaria, Romania
and Ukraine, morphing into the magnificent Danube
Delta before spilling into the Black Sea. Europe's bestpreserved river delta and a UNESCO World Heritage site,
the delta is an intricate web of canals, reed marshes and
wetlands that provide sanctuary for over 300 bird species,
including millions of white Egyptian pelicans who migrate
there every spring. Upon reaching mile 0 on the Black Sea
coast, the Danube has truly charted a remarkable course
through the breadth of Europe.
