Cycling day trip from Vienna to Wiener Neustadt

Looking for a scenic escape from Vienna? Hop on your bike and ride south to Wiener Neustadt! This roughly 62.5 km ride starts amid Vienna’s vibrant city buzz and gradually leads you into quieter countryside charm. Most of the way is on smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways, making for a comfortable, enjoyable journey for all levels. There's a gentle climb out of Vienna (about 270 m of ascent in total), but you’ll be gliding more than grinding.

Along the route, you’ll pass through quaint villages, rolling fields, and stretches of peaceful forest. Keep an eye out for the historic Südbahn railway running parallel at times—a nod to the classic travel route to the south.

At the finish, Wiener Neustadt welcomes you with its old town, medieval fortifications, and lively central square. This city is known for its military academy and lively café culture—perfect for a post-ride coffee and slice of cake before your return or train ride back to Vienna.
