I liked the Abbey but you couldn't take pictures, which made me sad. I didn't enjoy the museum but the church is beautiful. We left from Melk on a short cruise down the Danube to Krems, and we really enjoyed that.

Quaint little town.
Quaint little town. Very quiet and and remote. Great stopping point for a day. Only downside was there was a distance to walk to see the Melk Abbey. We unfortunately couldn't get to the location for it was too much walking for my elderly father. Wish there was parking on the premises but was all private. Sad we missed it 😞

I love the quaintness of melk.
I love the quaintness of melk. It was not full of tourists like other towns are. When you buy a souvenir here, it's authentic! Not just something mass-manufactured. The Abbey towers over the town in all its beauty, and the slow river wraps around the town and provides a lovely place to walk. One of my favorite spots on our whole trip through Austria and Germany.

It seems that most visitors to Melk come from the river cruises and are targeted at the Abbey. That is a worthwhile stop, but the city is making an effort to add other "tourist attractions", including some events and a nice historical walk. We took the latter and enjoyed learning more about the history of the area.
We were riding the Donauradweg, and Melk is a good spot for a layover, with good, affordable restaurants, things to do and see, a staffed rail office for making future reservations, and has easy access to and from the Danube Bike Path. The town changes a bit when the cruise boat visitors arrive, but they don't stay long and by evening, there is a nice feeling to the place. The Ratskeller and the Brewery for food are good spots,...the little deli on the main square will make you a great sandwich at a good price for and outing or the next days travels.

There is not much to do here.
There is not much to do here. We had 2 nights and it was too long. We went on a short cruise down the river to Spitz and climbed up to an old sastle which was nice. Had we planned better we would do the Abbey in the morning, cruise in the afternoon and get it all done in one day. The Abbey is ok to visit. I recommend you do the day trip cruise from Vienna rather than stay in melk. Additionally, there is nothing to do in the evening, it is very quiet and only one street!
“Right in the old city and walking distance to the abbey. Hotel is very reasonably priced. Owner was very helpful when we had an issue with the cat battery.”
“The location of this property to Melk Abbey and the Danube is excellent. The free parking right at the door of the property was a great plus. The size of the room was larger than most European lodging.”
