By bicycle from Vienna to Schwechat

This is a pleasant ride that takes you from the lively heart of Vienna down to the quieter town of Schwechat, just southeast of the city. You’ll roll out from Vienna’s vibrant streets, passing historic architecture and city parks before heading onto mostly paved cycleways—meaning it’s smooth sailing for almost the entire route.

With gentle ascents and more downhill than uphill, this 17 km route is perfect for an easy day trip or commute. You’ll spend most of your ride on dedicated bike paths, and only short sections mix with quiet roads or paths. As you approach Schwechat, you might notice things get a bit more peaceful; this town is best known for Vienna’s international airport and its long brewing tradition—Schwechat was once home to one of the world’s oldest lager breweries!

Whether you’re heading to the airport, exploring Austria’s southern neighborhoods, or just getting in some relaxing kilometers, this route is an easy, enjoyable ride with plenty of city and countryside views.
