(NOTE: This article has been graciously provided by our partner, Viking River Cruises, one of the most knowledgeable sources of information on the Danube River region)

The Danube River is Europe’s second longest river, flowing from Germany’s Black Forest through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova.

Taking a river cruise down the Danube is one of the best ways to see the cities and culture of the region at a manageable pace.  Here’s a list of the must-see museums along the Danube River.

Lentos Museum of Modern Art

Located in Linz, Austria, the Lentos Museum of Modern Art sits right along the Danube and is filled with an excellent collection of modern works of art.
