Krems and Stein: river landings and local access
Krems and Stein form one urban area on the north bank of the Danube, with several landing stages spread along the waterfront.
Landing stages in Krems-Stein
Krems and Stein form a connected urban area on the north bank of the Danube. River cruise landings are spread along the waterfront in Stein, so “Krems” alone does not identify the pier, walking route or meeting point. The station operators list numbered landings 39, 33 and 23 around Stein, and stations 24 and 25 farther east in an area used by DDSG line and themed cruises. The Danube Shipping and World Heritage Centre is at Welterbeplatz in Stein.
Stein has its own historic centre west of central Krems. A landing near Stein’s old town and a stop at the shipping centre serve different purposes; local day cruises are not the same as a multi-day cruise berth. Follow the pier given by the cruise line and current berth allocation.
Two historic districts
Stein fronts the river, while Krems extends farther north-east. Depending on the landing point, a shore visit may begin among Stein’s old streets or continue from the waterfront toward central Krems. The stages are separate access points along a long stretch of riverbank.
Rail and bus connections
Krems an der Donau railway station at Bahnhofplatz is also the central departure point for the city’s seven bus routes. The station and bus hub are north-east of the Stein landings, near central Krems. Regional rail and bus services are not necessarily timed to a particular ship’s berth or stay. For a return to the vessel, confirm its pier and departure time.
