Cycling day trip from Vienna to Laxenburg

This scenic ride takes you from the heart of Vienna down to the charming town of Laxenburg, famous for its beautiful castle and expansive park. You’ll pedal for just under 23 km, mostly on smooth asphalt surfaces with a comfortable mix of quiet roads, dedicated cycleways, and a few easy gravel paths. The route is pretty gentle, with a few short climbs and more descent than ascent—a nice bonus!

Starting in Vienna, you’ll quickly leave the city buzz behind, heading through green suburbs and peaceful countryside. About three-quarters of the route is paved, so your ride stays smooth, with only brief stretches of gravel adding a bit of adventure.

Arriving in Laxenburg, you’ll find yourself right next to the stunning Schlosspark Laxenburg—a historic park perfect for a relaxing stroll or a picnic by the lakeside. It’s a favorite weekend escape for Viennese cyclists, offering the perfect mix of culture and nature. Ideal for a half-day outing!
