On a bike you can see a surprising amount of Vienna in a short time. Your guide leads you along safe cycle paths from the Ringstrasse to the Danube.
The Ringstrasse, lined with the State Opera, Parliament, City Hall and Burgtheater, is perfect for cycling: wide, flat and full of grand buildings. Your guide explains why Emperor Franz Joseph had the city walls torn down and how the boulevard became a showcase for the rising middle class.
Through the City Park you ride into the Prater, once an imperial hunting ground and now the green lung of the city. On the main avenue you glide beneath chestnut trees, with the 1897 Giant Ferris Wheel in view. The tour continues to Danube Island with views of the UN City.
Bikes or e-bikes can be rented or arranged for you on request. The pace is adapted to your group. The tour is private and priced per group.
