Whether flying into Vienna International Airport or arriving by train at Vienna Central Station, you'll want to get your own set of wheels to make the most of Austria's capital city. Scooter hire, motorcycle hire, and quad hire offer easy mobility to see Vienna's mix of imperial history and contemporary culture. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Vienna's historic centre is best seen up close.
Cruise the Ringstrasse to view the resplendent Hofburg Palace, Imperial Palace, Vienna State Opera, and City Hall. Then go further back in time to Stephansdom, the Gothic cathedral that has overlooked the city since the 12th century. Marvel at the soaring spire and colorful tiled roof.
For a blast of modern architecture, head to the MuseumsQuartier. Once the imperial stables, it now houses trendy cafés, shops, and contemporary art spaces. The Leopold Museum and Mumok are must-visits for fans of Klimt, Schiele, and other Austrian artists.
When you need a break, take the U-Bahn metro a few stops north of the old town to Prater. Here you'll find leafy avenues, picnic spots, and the iconic Riesenrad Ferris wheel. Enjoy panoramic views as you glide over the Danube River.
Vienna has a reputation for decadent pastries and coffeehouses. Indulge yourself at a konditorei like Demel, purveyor of the world-famous Sacher Torte. Or relax at a fancy kaffeehaus and watch the world go by.
Just outside Vienna, the Wachau Valley offers a pleasant day trip opportunity. Cruise along the Danube between rolling vineyards and medieval abbeys. Detour to Dürnstein to see the blue-towered church where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned.
With so much history and culture to uncover, a scooter rental or motorcycle rental gives you the freedom to explore Vienna and beyond.
