Biking in Vienna

Looking for a cycle route in Vienna?

Various cycling routes are marked throughout Vienna. Consider, for example, the following signposted routes:

• The Ringstraße
• The Hundertwasserhaus
• The inner-city cycling tour

You can get a route map and route information from the local tourist office. You can also map out your own route along the Danube, where it is almost impossible to get lost as you continuously follow the water. Make sure you do turn around once, unless you want to bike all the way to Bratislava or Linz. On this page you will find an unmarked cycle route past highlights in Vienna (in Dutch).

Across the river is a large area of green space. On this Komoot page, you will find twenty free cycle routes around Vienna (in Dutch). Vienna is also the perfect starting point for a cycling holiday along the Danube. The river banks are relatively flat and thus easy to cycle on. Along the river, follow (part of) the 320-kilometre Passau-Vienna cycle route along historical and cultural highlights.
