Find HotelsIf you have extra time, extend your Tenerife stay by a night to visit the remote village of Garachico and its natural lava pools, or add a sunrise hike on Mount Teide. For the Danube tour, you can shorten the journey to a 5‑day itinerary by skipping Passau and Bratislava, focusing on the most scenic segments (Regensburg‑Linz, Linz‑Melk, Melk‑Vienna). Conversely, add an extra day in Vienna to explore the museums of the Museum Quarter or take a day‑trip to the nearby wine region of Wachau for more tasting experiences.
