 Rent a bike at train stations |
Mariahilfer Strasse (Westbahnhof) Vienna, Vienna 1070 Austria +43 (0)1 21 1140 (Tourist Information) |
Unlike most typical cycle rentals, which are usually only open during the warm season, Vienna's train stations offer bikes to rent the whole year around, so visitors can even go on a cycling tour in February. The rent for a city-bike is EUR12 per day and is even cheaper with a train ticket. For more than one bike, it is advisable to make a reservation in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |
