Getting around Vienna
The City of Music is voted as one of Europe’s top pedestrian-friendly cities. With its vast pedestrian zones – Stadtpark & the Prater and promenades along the Danube Canal, made famous by Johann Strauss’s beautiful Blue Danube waltz, there is no better way to explore the Austrian capital than by foot.
The city is bicycle-friendly too, so perhaps consider renting two wheels for your stay if you’ve got the legs for it!
And, if you decide to use public transportation, Vienna can offer you a big network of buses, trams, trains and metro (U-Bann Subway), to get you around the city easily and comfortably.
