Melk Abbey or on to Vienna

I am leaving Cesky Krumlov by auto on a Tuesday morning going to Vienna where we will spend 2 nights and leave for Budapest the following morning. Considering that we will have two days in Vienna, should we stop for a quick look at the Melk Abbey which is really on the way or should we go direct to Vienna. We are staying at the Vienna Rathaus wein and design which is pretty central. We love history, art, culture. I am torn and would appreciate input.Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I would make a stop in Melk - the abbey is really worth a visit

Two nights make one full day and one half day as you will hardly arrive before noon - rushed enough for a city like Vienna. As much as I appreciate Melk, the abbey is fantastic, but with such a hectic schedule I'd concentrate on Vienna.
