Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Vienne à Eisenstadt

This scenic ride whisks you south from Vienna, the grand Austrian capital famed for its imperial history and vibrant coffee culture, to Eisenstadt, a charming town best known as the longtime home of composer Joseph Haydn.

The journey covers just over 93 km, weaving through Austria’s picturesque countryside. You’ll cruise on a comfortable mix of cycleways and quiet roads, passing lush fields, quaint villages, and enjoying the gentle roll of the landscape. With about 420 meters of ascent and a little more descent, the hills add just enough challenge to keep things interesting without feeling overwhelming.

Most of the route is on smooth pavement or asphalt, though you’ll touch some gravel stretches—just enough to give your tires an easy test. As you roll into Eisenstadt, don’t miss the baroque Esterházy Palace, the crown jewel of the town.

Pack some snacks, charge your phone for a few photos, and enjoy a taste of both culture and countryside on this relaxed, rewarding Austrian ride!
