Creator's Key Takeaways

it is an absolutely stunning church I wish we could have brought you some footage but out of respect we didn't film anything

I'm not sure it was worth €13 if I'm completely honest I'm glad I've being in um I'm just surprised that they're charging that much

the church itself is worthwhile there was a little bit of a museum before we went in and the liary um but the Abbey itself

Creator's Tips & Advice

Follow the signs through the forest for a 5-10 minute walk into Melk town.
Be aware that photography and filming are not permitted inside the Abbey.
Consider the Abbey's own English tours for an extra €3 rather than the expensive ship excursion.
Don't worry about time constraints; even a short stop allows enough time to see the Abbey and the town.
