Cycling day trip from Vienna to Baden

Ready for a scenic ride from the heart of Vienna to the spa town of Baden? This 35 km route takes you south from Vienna’s bustling city center, past elegant architecture and leafy suburbs, and into the gentle hills of Lower Austria. Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt and well-maintained cycleways, making it ideal for city bikes or road bikes.

You might even catch a glimpse of vineyards as you approach Baden, famous for its thermal springs and historic town center. Once in Baden, reward yourself with a stroll through lovely parks or a relaxing café break.

With mostly paved surfaces and a mix of tranquil paths and dedicated cycleways, this route is perfect for a leisurely half-day adventure—not too challenging, but full of sights and fresh air!
