Itinerary
You will be visiting the stables of Vienna's famous horse-carriages, the so-called Fiakers. There we will have a guided tour including some exciting stories and interesting insights in our daily routines with the coachmen and horses.
Once you hop on the carriage we will start our way through the suburbs of Vienna's 11th district. The former industrial area is nowadays one of the most vibrant melting pots of cultures and features a variety of modern and classic buildings as well as exotic shops, etc.
Continuing our journey you will be reaching the Schloss Belvedere in Vienna's 3rd district. Formerly outside of Vienna these two castles are now in the middle of the city and you will see from this point on the buildings get more and more classy.
The famous Ringstraße Boulevard really is an iconic landmark. It features so many different Palais and elegant buildings including the Viennese State Opera - where the Opera ball takes place once a year.
The Hofburg Place is the former royal palace and for sure the highlight of your ride with all it's different parts.
