By bicycle from Vienna to Perchtoldsdorf

This is a fun ride from the heart of Vienna all the way to the charming village of Perchtoldsdorf—perfect if you’re looking to escape the buzz of the city without going too far afield. You’ll start in Vienna’s lively city center, famed for its beautiful architecture and coffeehouse culture, then quickly glide onto a mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads as you head south. The route is mostly paved, so it’s a smooth journey suitable for nearly any bike.

Along the way, you’ll gain a bit of elevation (about 150 meters in total), but it’s spread out and never too steep, just enough to get the heart pumping. The landscape gradually shifts from urban vistas to leafy suburbs and then open views as you enter the Vienna Woods area.

Arriving in Perchtoldsdorf, you’ll notice its historic tower and picturesque wine taverns—perfect for a post-ride snack or a glass of local wine. If you have a little energy left, take a stroll up the hill for sweeping views back toward Vienna. It’s an easy-going adventure with a definite reward at the end!
