Vienna makes a special impression on tourists and for the first time in seven years, Melbourne was no longer the most livable city in the world. The crown remained in Europe and went to the Austrian capital Vienna.
It is a green city with many parks and public green areas. Countless tourists are found there, yet the city exudes peace. While relaxing on a holiday, the ÖBB brings everyone to a beautiful city quickly, easily and guaranteed free of congestion.
Public transport equipped for optimal mobility.
Public transport is designed for optimal mobility. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn, everything is available at relatively low rates. A weekly ticket for 16 euros for all public transport within the city and on almost every line is operated with an interval of 5 to 10 minutes. It is physically far from one side of the city to the other, but very close due to the organization of public transport.
Using electric taxis.
After a year of intensive preparatory work, the first e-Taxi was on display in the streets of Vienna from March 2016. An attractive financing and extensive subsidy of the project made it possible for the entrepreneurs to take the risk and conquer the city with the new form of electric taxi driving.
Until the end of the project in June 2018, it was even possible for companies to become part of the Vienna eTaxi fleet and to benefit from the support of up to Euro 8.000 per vehicle.
Sightseeing by bicycle is very easy in Vienna.
Sightseeing by bicycle is very easy in Vienna. The sights are, as it were, strung together along the Ring cycle path. If you want to complete this almost flat course without great effort, you can now also do this by e-bike.
For example, you start at the Marienbrücke on Schwedenplatz, the route continues on the Ringstraße, past beautiful buildings such as the State Opera, the Hofburg and the Parliament. At the Danube Canal you can opt for a trip via the promenade along the water, or the bicycle path along the Altstadt. In both cases you will return to the starting point with about 4,5 km in your legs and lots of new impressions richer.
Rent an E-scooter from at least 6 different providers.
E-scooters can be rented in the city center on almost every street corner. The electric scooters are a simple, flexible and relatively inexpensive means of transport for short distances in the city center. There are currently six e-scooter providers in Vienna: Lime, Bird, Tier, Wind / Byke, Hive and Circ (formerly Flash).
The two suppliers Arolla and Voi have also announced that they will offer scooters in Vienna.
Everyone who wants to rent an e-scooter must be at least 18 years old and needs the app of the respective provider on the Android smartphone or iPhone and, depending on the provider, a credit card, debit card, PayPal or Google Pay as payment method. Lime e-scooters have been available to use through the Uber app since July 2019.
The 'easy' tourist opts for the Big Bus.
The tourist who makes it easy for himself chooses the Big Bus to see Vienna in the shortest possible time. For those who can only enjoy this beautiful city for a few days, we recommend the Big Bus. Admire the sights of Vienna from an open Big Bus double-decker with a 360-degree view of the most famous monuments and enjoy the interesting audio commentary. The ticket is valid for 48 hours on various routes and you can hop on and off at any of the 14 stops throughout the elegant city.
