Fiaker at St. Stephen's CathedralPhoto: Sir James - Eigenes Werk, commons.wikimedia.org (CC BY-SA 3.0)
Grand city route through Vienna in the traditional Fiaker
Just like the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Hofburg, the Fiakers are part of Vienna. Since the 17th century, horse-drawn carriages have been driving through the streets of the Austrian capital. Today, the coachmen – who are also called Fiakers – show their guests the beautiful city on the Danube. The highlight of this route is definitely the Hofburg, but various churches, the Burgtheater, and the City Hall are also worth a visit.
Author’s recommendation
Fiaker rides are also possible to Schönbrunn Palace and the Central Cemetery!
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
