About Grein: A Danube Arts Town in the Strudengau
Grein river cruises call at a small historic town on the Danube in Upper Austria's scenic Strudengau region, set between Linz and Melk and one of the most culturally distinctive stops on a Danube river cruise. In the riverside village of Grein, creativity takes the spotlight. Home to Austria's oldest still-operating theatre, the Stadttheater dating to 1791, this town weaves art, music, and storytelling into everyday life, while Greinburg Castle, a Renaissance fortress from 1488, watches over the river from the hill above. Step inside the Stadttheater, a jewel box of velvet seats and footlit stages, and learn how performers and townspeople have kept the spirit of theatre alive here for centuries. Grein is a stop on Celebrity's Danube river cruise itineraries, a town that doesn't just preserve tradition, it lives in it, and invites you to take part in something timeless.
